Over the weekend, a fan had been built by the team to extinguish the candle in the competition. The fan blades and the motor was taken from an old portable fan while the wind tunnet was made of chips container.
The fan was mounted on a turret as prototype for testing.
During the class, the fan turret was installed onto the chassis and a minor modification was done to the rest of the upper compartment to make room for the turret.
A button is also added to the robot for easier press-start.
The fan's turret would scan close to 160 degrees in front of it.

The nevigation test for the day was not successful. Although the robot had been able to navigate all 4 rooms individually on saturday when the team was testing the robot in a classmate house, the test to nevigate all 4 rooms in one try was filled with flaws such as foreshortened moves and turns.
Hopefully by next day, most of the problems will be debugged.
