On Monday 10/01:

Mechanical: Started making the robot, started creating a design and measurements for the drive train of the robot. The drive train is pretty much the system that connects the transmission to the drive axles. The mechanical team also put measurements and part types of the parts, so they will be ready to build further when the GoBilda Kit comes in.

Programming: Learned how to clone Git repositories, downloaded Git and Android Studio, became familiar with the basics of Git and some of its commands.

Outreach: The outreach team spent this meeting filling out sponsorship applications.
