We cut the axels down about an inch and a half because we were over the width limit by that much.

Today we added a longer, shorter, curved plow for pushing the objects around. It's made out of the same material we made the last one out of. This will help us get the objects into the goal easier; we can now collect multiple pieces at a time. It needed to be shorter to fit under the goal and push the pieces all the way in.

 Controlling the robot is still proving to be our biggest issue. We're still fiddling with the remote control bindings to get optimal performance and control. It's still going to be too difficult to position the crane in front of the objects. Pushing the pieces is still going to be faster and more efficient.

We attached the plow to the body and changed our gear ratio so the robot wouldn't move as quickly.
