Pre Culmination Prep
It was really easy today because Lucy and I had already finished everything else yesterday. So today, we did the one thing that we could do, we helped everybody else! Theres nothing really to report except that the balloon station is apperantly supposed to have a smaller basket (according to Rhys and Cecilia) and it seems like Lenas station, the launching station, isn't really working out that well. But we'll see!!!!! Wish us luck for the mini culmination!

Pre Culmination Prep
Today Lucy and I made the basket so that it would hold anything without letting it fall out. Then, we tied the parachute strings so that if the robot pulled on one side, it would unravel and they could grab the thing inside of it. We get it dropped consistently in the same spot, and all we have t worry about now is if the robot can unravel it well. :)

Pre Culmination Prep
Today we built a box which we would use to hold the things to transport. We cut the hole and added the box but it kept going really far to the left. So we cut a bigger hole (by about an inch) and made the box a sack again and threw it down the stairs. It worked better this time but it wasnt going anywhere where the robot could pick it up. Then we had a bright idea, we swung the parachute and right when it was going to swing to the right, we dropped it. It landed on the 1st step with the parachute on the ground floor! I hope the robot claw works!
