Today was an extremely productive day at the GUS shop, as soon as we got to the shop after school we continued machining the spacers and axles for the competition robot and start assembling and working on the electrical on the practice robot, we also got some powder coated parts back today, everything else will be done tomorrow around noon! Right now we're looking like we won't make the Shakedown this weekend, but we will hopefully have the practice robot completed Saturday and about half of the competition robot done! On the practice robot, we got the shooter rollers, shooter motors, the battery box, the power distribution board, the main breaker, the jags, and one set of rollers installed for the elevator! After testing the shooter it looks like we'll have to play with how much we compress the ball, but that wasn't unexpected. Everything's coming together fairly nicely so far, knock on wood though, we've still got a lot left. Here are the pictures I took today!

| I love triangles! |

| Looks scary! |
This truly will be a a season for the record books, not sure what's the fastest any one has ever assembled a FRC robot, but I have a feeling this is fairly close to being one of the fastest. None of this would be possible without the countless hours of work from every student and mentor on GUS, everyone really does an amazing job!
