During week 3 our team managed to make:

-New endstops in crane

-New servomotors that help keep the moving floor of balls container shut

-New module that feeds only one ball at the time

-Almost entire mechanic build is done

-Mobile app and the whole electronic setup is almost ready

During week 2 our team managed to make:

-Mobile aplication is in alfa test

-First codes for Raspberry PI and Arduino are ready

-Communication between Arduino and Raspberry is established

-Operating modes are prototyped

-All parts are connected to the plywood to help moving the whole construction

-We succesfully made first crane prototypes to move balls up for re-sorting.

-Color sensor is being tested

-Colored balls feed mechanism is being prototyped

- Ball containers were rebuilt and we switched from DC Lego mindstorms motors to servomotors

During week 1 our team managed to make:

-Concept of the mechanics of the whole machine

-Concept of the all electronic components we will be using

-Concept of machine operate modes

-BOM list 

-First elements of the bal container with sorting mechanism and moving floor
