Could be useful time spent to mount the prototype onto the robot for further testing, but since this design will most likely work well (based on RI3D and past teams) the gate mechanism is becoming more important.

• Finished the barebones roller prototype, ready to test it to find beat compression and geometry
• Observed mentors design to take inspiration for our feeder, promising impressions for ground feeder

• Use of bevel gears was a backwards step, costed time

• Talk to James and continue working on the geometry of the encoder and gate mechanism that feeds balls into the flywheel of the turret, maybe add to the 2D side view schematic that he already has up or make another one
• Finalize whether we want to transfer the balls by gravity or by belts/cables
• Need to find a good geometry and spacing of the bars that allows the ball to be compressed just enough that it can fit through the gaps between the bars and bumper and fed into the mechanism that brings it towards the turret
• Need to figure out a good/reasonable amount of compression for the ball 
• Now that prototype is done, can test for these. Gate/storage/feed system needs attention.

Mostly yeah
