Aiden Arun and Gordy worked on our Uno Citta Scosso flyers.
Today everyone forgot (exept Luke, Zander and Aiden good job) that we had to have our Uno Citta Scosso lines, so we moved that to next Wendsday. Then we went over our lines. Then Kai, Zander, Luke, and our guest Thomos went downstairs to work on our robot. 15 minutes later Kai went up to work on the website. Arun arrived minutes later.
