Today, we put the final touches on our ROV.  We added a net that we purchased as well as a hook from a clothes hanger to the frame.  Now our ROV won't rest upright, but at least we have parts to complete all the tasks!  We utilized duct tape and zip ties in order to work together and attach these different parts.

 Today our team worked on our three subsystems.  Romy drilled holes into some pipes and assembled the ROV frame with the floaties and the net.  Elsa water proofed the the motors  and started screwing in the propellers .  Rachel built a motor but with many attempts the it would only worked for little.

Today, our team worked on our three subsystems.  Romy cut the PVC pipes to their measurements and then drilled holes into the connecting pipes to make progress on the frame.  Elsa finished taping the motors, drilled holes in the canisters, and worked on the wiring for the thrusters.  Rachel made alligator clips and worked on the circuit board for the motor.




Today we put together the ROV and started testing it in the pool. We ziptied the motors and cables to the ROV and made last minute additions.
