Hello team,
Over the last two days more progress was made that puts our team right on schedule. Yesterday (Wednesday, January 8th) we had our general meeting and an extended period of time after school during which to work on various elements.
The new Falcon 500 motor that we pre-ordered arrived and Software started working on testing with it. Unfortunately some firmware, update, and connectivity issues occurred but as soon as those are resolved testing should be imminent.
Build continued their work on field elements and were able to add half of the power port and half of the human player station to their list of completed tasks. They should finish up the power port and human player station soon and start work on the shield generator soon. It seems like the deadline of completion this weekend should be achievable but might need to be extended slightly.

The field elements completed so far. Still more work to be done but good progress overall.
Design had a major milestone complete yesterday as well. After a couple of days of geometry testing of three different robot profiles, the design team voted on a specific profile to pursue. Over the next two and a half weeks they will be designing components and passing it on to build for construction.
A rough geometric sketch of the design. This should serve as a estimate of what the robot would look like.
Overall, things seem to be on track and according to schedule so far. This has been a chaotic yet overall successful start to the build season and if things keep on rolling like this, we should be in for a well-oiled season.
