| + | During this week we focus our work on closing the list of materials to start building the prototype. The list was nearly closed before the meeting with supervisors except servo motors and battery, as we made a number of design changes that reduced the number of servo motors would we need. Once approved modifications to the project, we closed the list to have the material next week and start building. | ||
