On April 14, Harris and Justin successfully implemented and altered the Collection System design to more efficiently remove the poppy seeds from the cloth. Common issues such as the stepper motors getting stuck, the cloth getting stuck, and the blades not removing the poppy seeds were quickly addressed and fixed. The collection system also included the rework of some of the coding for the stepper motors so that the timing of the two stepper motors would match. Minor testing was also completed at this time.
