Work Completed

Cleaned the Warehouse. I showed up part of the way through this, but also there was some math done to figure out the velocity of the ball needed to get it in the goal (In document 'Shooter Calculations'). Later on, we did some more math concerning the force on the spring, and made an Excel calculator where we could input values on the dimensions of our kicker and figure out how much spring force we need and what the velocity should be (in document 'Spring Constant Calculator for Kicker Prototype 2014' or something like that).

Challenges

Just trying to figure stuff out, how to cock back arm, how to hold it, what spring we need, etc. :D

Work for Next Meeting

Pick springs and possibly mechanical locking mechanisms to implement onto a working prototype, perhaps begin CAD of final design.

On Schedule?

Doing decently well, gotta work well to meet goal of picking prototype by Wed.
