Monday and Tuesday were holidays, but the team met anyway at the home of our Vice President. Attendance was significantly reduced because of this, but also because Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were exam days and many students opted to stay at home studying instead of attending meetings. We still managed to make progress, especially on exam days as the tests let out earlier than the normal school day and meetings often lasted longer.
Construction on the frame of the completed four-wheel drive continued, and the harvester and its accompanying roller and belt-clamping mechanisms were worked on. The ackerman drive prototype was switched for a more efficient three-wheel design that has been dubbed the ‘backerman’ design. Other mechanisms such as the harvester’s feed system and the catapult progressed, both of which are nearing completion. Meanwhile, the programming subteam was able to write code to better control acceleration make the camera track and follow colors. They also updated our team’s website.
