Day 1: Gathering Our Ideas

The two of us met up with each other to discuss and show off our ideas and drafts. There are requirements of 3 prototypes, so we spend the rest of the time creating new, updated drafts. Because none of us were able to finish all three, homework was to brainstorm until the next meeting of more prototypes. At that time, future ideas will be discussed and models/prototypes will be created; vehicles will hopefully be started on by then as well.
