**Pat **Pat Team 18! The poster presentation was a super hit, just a bit over-populated. Students, faculty, and visitors who came along showed genuine interest in our work, and shared encouraging feedback. It was such a proud moment to see our team’s efforts appreciated and our project gaining well deserved attention.

That was not the only highlight. We also completed Phase 1 of our prototyping successfully as planned. After weeks of planning, refining, and testing, it felt amazing to finally see our ideas take shape. Every team member played a vital role in making this happen, from setting up the cloud architecture to integrating the first components of our system. Seeing everything come together was a moment of real accomplishment.

Now our focus shifts to November 4 when we will present our work on Prototype Inspection Day. With the core structure in place and a clear plan for improvement, the team feels confident and ready. The goal is to polish the prototype, make sure everything runs smoothly, and present our progress with the same energy and enthusiasm we brought to AI Days.

This week reminded us of how much we have grown together as a team. From the excitement of presenting our poster to the satisfaction of completing a major project phase, it truly felt like a milestone moment. Each achievement brings us one step closer to our vision, and Team 18 is more motivated than ever to keep the momentum going as we prepare for the next big challenge.
