AquaSquad 5-26-15
Today AquaSquad finished the build part of the ROV. Next class the ROV will be put underwater, and tested. The motors were attached the the control board was finished and connected to the ROV. The motors will have to be calibrated and the floats will have to be sized so that the ROV is neutrally buoyant. The zips ties were the most troubling part of today. 2 zip ties were ruined due to bad planning.
Jill- Today the team finished the control box, but ran into many challenges regarding this. The lid of the control box was put on upside down, an error that was fixed by Ms. S. Through this error, the team also found that one of the wires had been accidentally cut. The team had to cut the zip ties, and resolder the motors. In the end, the team was successful and managed to get all of the motors and the control box working.
Sky: Today we finished the design of the ROV however we noticed shortfalls regarding how the motor was zip-tied and the soldered wires. We worked extended time during tutorial and managed to overcome these shortfalls to recover our original design of the ROV. After testing the motors we discovered that the ROV was operational.
