We split the team into two parts: a CAD segment and a "rough prototype/testing" segment.

Joaquin and Lyle spent the meeting CADing the curve of a prototype shooter, as well as the mount that attaches the motor to the curve structure. These files can be found on the middle nice computer and on the team GrabCAD.

Jack, Martin, and Robert created a really rough shooter wheel prototype with the intention of testing the compressibility of the boulders. Their assembly had a hard wall (to simulate the hard constraint of the curve) and a wheel on a slider that could adjust the distance between wheel and wall. We had previously thought that maximum safe compressibility was about 8" but after their testing it became apparent that it was probably more like 6.5-7."

At the end of the meeting Neil assembled the shooter prototype CAD so that people can visualize the design.

Not very many people at the meeting today. 

Breacher design was changing a lot today so we were having to keep up with their adjustments and continually confirm that our designs would integrate properly.

Finalize all CAD and other parts that need to be ordered for the prototype shooter, we want this out and back as fast as possible. 

Create a more detailed design for the intake and holding chamber that will go in front of the actual shooting mechanism.
