    Sorry that it's late... I'll make an on time post next time!
     
    As we went into the machine shop today... we saw a huge pizza size sprocket on the CNC. This sprocket took the mentors 6 hours to make!! This sprocket is used for the turret. Then we had to make a hole in the middle of the big sprocket for the balls to pass through. In order for us to make the hole, we needed the dial looking edge finder to find the center so that we know where the center is. Except it took us a while to find the dial looking edge finder. We looked all over the machine shop and we couldn't find it. In the end, we found the dial looking edge finder back where it was suppose to belong. Then we used the CNC and cut the hole in the center for the balls to pass through. Then we cleaned up the mess we made on the CNC. Later on, we decided to create a calender our posting dates, so that everyone can know what date they're suppose to post. After that, we were discussing on what to do, thinking and creating of ideas.
