Trap Door and Electronics Box Work - Matt Mannino

With more items on our to-do-list left, we are finally finishing them one at a time.  We assembled a "trap door" for the hopper on the back of the robot.  This allows the balls to be dumped out from the hopper into the home station once its path is completed.

We also added some smaller features to the electronics box that protects and houses the electronics components.  There are two metal clasps, one on each side, that hold the box shut.  There is also a hinge that locks the box in place while it is open.
