• Graphics- Today we put all of the links for our social media onto the website as well as working out kinks on social media. We also put the banner picture in front of the name on the website and other pictures up. -Dillon

• Hackers- we worked on tinkercad with the makers. We learned about how to use it.

• Blingsters- We discussed what we should do with the led matrix board and figured out what parts we need to use it. We also made a ‘Christmas light show’ using the RGB led board.

• Makers-

• Mechanics- today in mechanics we made some changes to the arm in two ways. First we made the arm double jointed so we can go to a perfect 90 degrees if it is necessary. We looked at two types of arms. The first used a lot more pieces than the second so we went with the easier and more efficient type. By max
