Our third meeting went well since this is our first with all four team members here! We first talked about creating this blog as well as breaking into two sub-groups (Anisha and Matthew as one and Ashwin and Cassie in the other) so we can be able to get more work done and it wouldn't be as hard to set up meetings.

Then we started brainstorming and continuing our main idea about the archimedes screw. We thought about how we could make an archimedes screw since we tried to look at ones we could buy but they were too big and expensive since they were mainly for bulk materials such as dry dog food and other kinds of grains. We thought that we could make the screw part out of cardboard and a dowel. Anisha also asked 'does it really have to be a cylinder or can it be square?' We discussed lots of other ideas and searched the web many times for sandbagging devices.
