MS9 complete!!!

After some hustle and bustle on Friday night and some modification over the weekend, all of our modules are functional and ready to go for MS9. The functionality of each module is good, however there are still tweaks to be made in the slot module and the wedge.

Issue #1: Unfortunately, due to the fact that when we originally tested the wedge, the weight on the flipper was not accurate, the wedge is not sliding down into place like we had hoped. However the firing mechanism is functional.

Issue#2: The flippers tend to run at slightly different speeds, causing them to come into contact with each other. There is team discrepancy over the way we should handle this. It may be the best to trim the paddles, seeing as we don't need to focus on the squash balls.

However, we have Monday and Tuesday to deal with these problems, which should be within the scope of what we need to do.

Pushing it to the wire,

-Team MA
