Days 4 and 5

The prototypes are currently going through several stages, and three separate models are underway. One is a large slingshot designed to catapult the frisbee, another is an arm that hits the frisbee to move it forward, and the third is a design that uses a motorized wheel to provide the forward momentum for the frisbee. Currently, no one design has been tested as the best.

In the programming sector, the new software and updates are being installed so that the laptop from last year is ready for this year's competition. Following these software downloads, the coding and testing will begin for the robot. The use of several sensors to calculate the distance from the robot to the goal is currently being checked to see if that would be a feasible option for this year.
