End of the Week: The Little Things That Count

So for this whole week, we practiced with the robot even more.  We're slowly getting better and better at determining how to hit the ball and where it will go when we hit it.  A lot of the hits are very inaccurate mostly due to never playing put-put with a robot before.  One thing we did improve on the robot was the arm design.  Previously we had a small piece of Vex metal to hit the ball, but we now have a solid block of plastic which allows us to hit the ball farther.
