This week we further discussed our test arena. We are going to push back the fabrication of our test arena to week 12 but we are going to inquire about pricing from the machine shop. We decided that our main focus for the upcoming weeks will be on designing and building the robot structure, and assembling a rough robot. We emailed the UConn machine shop about potentially using their CNC router to cut plexiglass for the body of our robot. We need to get the cleanest cut in order to avoid having the edges of the plexiglass crack or chip.

A large portion of this week was dedicated to writing our project proposal, which is due in roughly two weeks, and reviewing/updating our project timeline, goals and priorities.
