## Clubroom Items
### Machine Reports
* Anthony to do full fleet maintance, and upgrade system, need to dedicate a day for this after exams
> Anthony: full fleet maintance & upgrades after exams
#### Joycons
* Many club joycons have stick drift & analog sticks probably need replacing due to wear
* joycon stick covers/caps are an easy fix for the wear of joycon sticks
* $16.95 - [Amazon Skull & Co covers](https://www.amazon.com.au/Skull-Co-Joystick-Covers-Nintendo/dp/B07W6VSJ8P/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1V6TW5DNX6BJY&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.vxhAW8P8Tq_n34zCyICLGUvr5hSv8znNgCEDHlAXxkn7Ktc7b6Bio64YtXdbygF37dPAy0OUJS0X4H13FdQVf6Kbz08ybHcKylOkU3A3gg-sxGJy8oyVcv39Fbd6L6XU-t3hrxMdvmBsiMf-I9gcKVezxvicPKH07tG-Ht3_vu4WqVQgeDt-UZEkus5i_KfZaXgnfWSFgJOR74XiPNo-Tcg_wxAUC6ysUqmSVr-ZsjLecKOpvY5dQW9uaPLjvoC4czUVXp3nT0HKOCEkFSUZSQX0P7d2HjOlkLBCOLrrpmI.z6kG9bQNF7GoeoFYt8v7PMjmERtmXY5AnkqVgrD5PCE&dib_tag=se&keywords=nintendo+switch+joycon+cover&qid=1728820405&sprefix=nintendo+switch+joy+cover%2Caps%2C388&sr=8-5)
* stick drift is difficult to fix
* should we replace analog joysticks (possibly with hall effect) or wait for their end of life and replace with switch/wired pro controllers
* before considering replacing we should try to update & recalibrate joycons
