On Tuesday, Nov 18, the team had a dry run of the project presentation.
M.L and O.Y were presenting before C.G, N.S and the rest of the team. C.G and N.S gave the presenters a feedback on the appropriate set of the body movements i.e. hand placement, stance, etc., as well as the feedback on the content of the presentation itself. The team found the feedback very helpful for the actual project and future presentations.
For the rest of the week the team did not meet, however, on Sunday, Nov 23, M.S worked on creating a temporary base for the load cell. Two pieces of medium-density fibreboards (MDF) were cut out and attached under and on the top of the load cell. The bottom MDF was attached so that the load cell is elevated above the floor and can be kept unmoved, while the top MDF was attached for the purpose of placing on different weights.

The tasks for the next week:
1. Utilize the base of the load cell;
2. Calibrate the load cell;
3. Integrate mechanical and software parts of the first prototype.
