One difficulty the team ran into this week is the prohibitively expensive cost of 3D printing all of the parts for the shuffler and dealer. We will pivot by 3D printing only the dealer and shuffler and constructing our final card holding base out of wood or acrylic, as the precision of that part is less important. This will not change the schedule simply because the 3D prints would have taken close to a day anyway.
For the demo we will have a functioning card detection subsystem and a functioning chip totaling subsystem for individual chips.
