Dear Diary,
Two meetings today. One was at David’s house for software people to get all the software installed and functional. The other meeting was arranged by John and I to get a field element made. We scouted out parts at the garage and found the supplies we needed to make the bump in the center of the field. We worked from 2:00 till 8:00 and go the entire thing done. Some of the by-products were getting the table saw to the garage, and also contacting Mr. Hass about possibly building at his house (next weekend). We build the bump with Minimal outside help with Karena’s mom simply supervising while we did the measurements, cutting, and assembling.
Both the Software and Build meetings went well. The software group got everything installed and we finished building the bump. We’ll do tests with it tomorrow to see how it affects the ball’s movement. It seems a LOT bigger in person than it did in the videos. This seems like a much harder task. I’m glad we built it because it emphasizes how significant the 45 degree angle really is. Look forward to kicking balls at it. (need to pump them up)
