As we finish week four we have finally completed the bumpers and are moving on and working on the “tower”. The “tower” is basically a holding chamber where balls will be stored during competition and once there, balls will be able to be transferred to the turret by traveling on a conveyor belt. We have built a prototype and are now testing different conveyor belt material.
In other news, the Chairman’s and Dean’s List awards are being worked on and we are making good progress on the marketing binder. With the build season almost over, we are also still trying to come up with a good design for our new logo — maybe we’ll have a panda running around doing something crazy or maybe riding a bike while holding several balloons in one paw? We don’t know yet but are excited about the possibilities.
Four weeks down, two to go…
