Spent alot of time building."	"Using the motors we have is quite frustrting. I wish me had the ones pre-attached to lego pieces. We had to seriously change out strategy, as time really is not allowing us to do exactly what we want."

"Even with the whole group, it takes a while to agree on a strategy and build it. Looks like our bot idea won't require high level AI but we will be more defensive and have a more basic strategy and bot, hopefully this will allow us to finish and be competitive."

"- We encountered no problems. - We're getting closer to being able to start writing, and once we start we'll know how good our research was. - We were in the same room talking and going to different websites. - I learned that one of the Mars rovers needs to find an elevated position to survive the Martian winter, I thought that was interesting because I didn't think it would have to do that. - There were no take-away lessons today."

Then everyone took off and I stuck around and worked on it during my hours assisting for PLC."	"We had one member not show at all, and we had another member that took off very early on promising, "I'll be back in a little bit." He never came back and was in fact sitting online, so we basically know for a fact that he blew us off. It is difficult to deal with those people because face-to-face they act very sincere but clearly have no interest in working on it."

"We spent quite some time in the CS lab implementing our concept.  Some of the time was spent discussing whether or not particular designs would work, some talking about the class, et cetera.  We know we can get *a* design done for the competition, but especially with our motor-obtaining issues it won't be easy to make a good one."

I also sent out a group email."	"On Wednesday I usually don’t have class.  I rode the bus out to rose solely for meeting with Johnathon to work on our research report.  Johnathon and I were able to get a lot done with our group project.  We first brainstormed about what concepts we would like to talk about during our presentation.  After we cam up with around five topics we opened up our laptops and did a small amount of group research.  After we found a few helpful articles we decided to brainstorm again.  This seemed to work out really well.  As we brainstormed, I wrote down everything we talked about.  We then tried to organize it so that it was more understandable.  Since this worked so well, we decided that we would continue using this approach the next time we meet."

"My partner and I decided exactly where we were going to take the project.  We started researching and coming up with practical applications of Autonomous public transportation.  We spent most of the time just coming up with the necessary technical devices needed.  We used some really obvious ones, but we also improved on each others ideas.  For example, we realized there would need to be wireless communication, and the first idea was to set up towers, which was later adapted to placing several small terminals that are hardwired to a central location."

Basically, the pumps are strong enough to lift the cage up, but it will snap the technic bar that is trying to keep the entire cage on the lifting mechanism. It's too much pressure over such a small space. It really isn't going to work. I messed around with other ideas with pneumatics but it all boiled down to one thing. Pneumatics are not going to work. I'm going to talk with my teammates about this and see what ideas they have for the ball cage."

"	"We ran into a few design problems, but we think we've worked a bunch fo them out.  One of the problems that we were running into was that we were having trouble testing the bot, particularly since the motors we were using must be attached to legos with glue or some other means.  Hopefully we will have the bot finished in time as we simplified the desgin as mucha s we could."
