Flipping Tank Drive
Wilson and Shanti worked on modifying and testing their flipping tank drive. They talked about ideas to make the drive better. They continued to research tank drive treads and emailed a company to ask for samples.
The flipping tank drive was able to drive up all the bars, but it still has trouble getting from the floor to the ramp. There isn’t enough traction to do this, so they are continuing to think of ways for the robot to make it to the top by itself.

Sled Final Testing
Armon and Peter finished testing their sled design. Their sled design was able to slide down the base from the top. They hope this can make the robot get to the ground faster, but some more testing is need.
They are going to continue to build a better and more solid design (instead of PVC).
