The middle (issues, reworking, redrawing)

The middle section of this project essentially consisted of drawing, redrawing, testing, redrawing, playing around with different kinds of solar panels, and redrawing again)
Group meetings were mostly problem solving session, and we broke into smaller groups a lot to work on smaller issues (Mat, Chris and I would talk about the design, the mechanisms to actually make this thing move, materials, etc) Jason and Michelle mostly worked on white papers during the middle portion of this project and Alyssa helped with miscellaneous tasks. We also ordered solar panels and began soldering and testing those.
Although the design remained relatively similar, it changed slightly every week because of the differences in materials, solar panels, and moving mechanisms we were implementing.
