+# 14 days until SPC\#2
+
+Today was a busy day building prototypes. Unfortunately, neither of the 2 prototypes got done. But the new intake parts were cut and are ready for assembly.
+
+# Intake
+
+- We got some new polycarb in today and we cut the new updated intake parts from them. They are ready for assembly now and should be done over the break.
+
+# Twindexer-Hopper
+
+- We finished assembly of the roller hopper by the end of the meeting only for us to find out that one of the motors was a dead motor so only half of the rollers worked. We still managed to run it with one but we discovered that the compression on the exit is too little. It could also be a product of the ball sitting in the gap in between the rollers and since our motors control every other roller, it’s possible that one of the rollers not running creates a deadzone. We’ll try to explore it more tomorrow. 
+
+# Shooter
+
+- The flipped shooter is done but we will want to check the pulleys and belts before we assemble it on the robot. The dumper prototype started assembly today but we found out that we didn’t have all the pulleys and gears needed for it to be finished. We spent the rest of the meeting trying to adjust the pulleys for ones we already have but didn’t finish in time. It might get finished tomorrow but there is no rush.
+
+# Programming
+
+- Programmers worked on shooting on the move during auto but ran into an issue with the swerve. We aren’t fully sure the issue is with the swerve but if it is, this will be the 3rd major issue with swerve on the competition robot so far this season. This is already more than what we had last year so this is something we might want to take a closer look at soon.
+
+The students will be away for about a week for their annual AwtyConnects trip so the recaps might disappear for a bit. If any work gets done during their trips, we’ll make sure to make a recap post, but for now, see you in about a week\!
