The teams are busy redesigning prototypes and finalizing designs for fabrications. 
The high shooter team spoke with mentors and modified the shooter to implement physics and the location of the feeder system on the robot. The heavy-lift was finalized, and a new gearbox was designed to be installed on the lift. The low shooter is finalizing the CAD and finishing any major fabrication of the intake. As for the control panel team, they cut the bracket required for mounting the sensor and installed it.  
We had significant work done on the business, programming, and the electrical fronts. The business team remained able to work on the business plan and came up with a list of awards to aim for. Along with this, they created a plan for a Girls in STEM event. With the electrical team, a new team was formed. The team finished briefing new members on the major components of the electrical panel. Afterwards, the team brainstormed ideas on how the E-Pan would be mounted onto the robot. Then, the electrical team, with the help of college students from Georgia Tech on the Robojackets were able to finalize what parts go on the two locations for the electrical systems. We decided to have two locations for the electrical systems, as well. They included the belly panel and the intake panel. The belly panel comprises the PDP and the Victor SPXs, and the intake panel included all other electrical components. Finally, the electrical team, divided into sub-teams, started work on pneumatics, created an idea for the intake panel, 3-D printed a radio case to mount on the side of the intake, and worked on the Driver Control Station Plan. On the programming front, the lift and winch code was moved with the autonomous code, to a different file to make the code more class-based. They successfully made the Control Panel spin until the color sensor hits a color. The Programming Team also wrote an autonomous program for the robot to dump all the balls and cross the initiation line and plan on testing this in the following weeks.
