Hello, today we made some progress on our project, but one member of our group was missing, so it was difficult to move forward quickly.

We realized that we actually needed to add a hole in the center of our gears because there seemed to be an issue when drilling holes with a drill. So, we went to the 7th floor once again to get the gears and used the printer to cut holes in the center. After many issues (lots of crashes...), we finally managed to get the gears!

Even though we couldn't make full progress, we identified two main problems that needed to be fixed for our project to work during the final session:

• The gears need to sit straight on the servo motor, because if we stack gears on top of each other, the whole thing leans to one side.

• Also, some of the internal gears need to be able to rotate, since we still don’t really know how to make the gears work properly.

That’s where we stopped for today’s session.
