Weekly Schedule

The weekly schedule has been created and can be found below:








The times listed above reflect the times and days that either:

- All group members are in the lab working (green)

- 2 of the 3 members are in the lab working (yellow) 

- Individual Work is being done in lab (red)


The schedule is dynamic, so a tab has been created in case changes are made during the week to accommodate. 


5 Designs

The five designs we have chosen include 2 designs that we feel strongly about (shown as the first two designs below):

Design 1















Design 2


Robot Design 2 includes some sensor feedback from the 'rotational sensing station'






Design 3






















Design 4
