We've dismissed the claw idea, once again, and have built a hopper and guide track for the pucks.

WHAT WE PLAN TO ACCOMPLISH THIS WEEK

Thanks to Martin, our extra hockey pucks were printed over the weekend.  We want to create some sort of cylindrical casing to hold the three pucks so you do not have to reload it during the game, white scratches the claw idea.  HOWEVER, it has become apparent to us that we must pick up the pucks, so we're back to the claw.

WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED THIS WEEK

We programmed and discussed a design for a claw but have not found one that will work to our benefit.

BUT WE GOT NEW CONTAINERS AND VEX PARTS AND THEY LOOK PRETTY.
