For robotics first day at work, six teams were made in order to get the most work done in two hours: Drive, Basket/Delivery system, Electronics, Programming, and Website design were separate for efficiency. So far ideas of the basket delivery system has been coming along at a steady pace, trying to figure out a way to dump balls from a basket in order to do this year's competition. The drive team is taking apart "Scrappy", the robot from last year's competition, in order to test wheels on this year's robot to see what the flooring will be like. As for the website team, three individuals are up to making this year's website.
