More Meetings! With 10 times More Heat!

Hello All!

Allen here with another update! Yesterday's meeting was yet another fun filled day! We had a few rookies joining us today and most likely there will be more at the next meeting! During the meeting we had accomplished several things, by using a strip heater we were able to bend the plastic into the shape we wanted it to be. As seen in the picture below, the shape of the plastic helps guide the Frisbee into our shooter, keeping it upright as well (most of the times at least). Several people had the most wonderful adventure, searching for a leak in our pneumatic systems as it was discovered on our Sunday meeting. Oddjob received a few upgrades, becoming Oddjob 2.0. Now with 75% less height and 50% lighter (for now of course). We also had a lunch meeting for all the new comers and gave them the run down of what happens in robotics. As a reminder to all incoming team members there is a "request" of $50. Well that's it.

This is Allen, signing off. Until next time everyone!
That's one small robot!
