The Illinihilation team wrapped up the fall semester with a final team meeting to discuss the designs for the soccer ball intake and output. From this meeting, we were able to finalize the manipulators for the soccer balls. While slightly behind schedule for the design due to the release time of the competition information, the team is working over the winter break to complete a full CAD model of the robot in order to be able to hit the ground running at the start of the new semester. The drivetrain has already been fully CAD modeled and the panels have been waterjet cut, so the entire drivetrain should be able to be assembled as soon as we get back from break.
