Today you woke up around 0700 to get to school at 0800 for a practice presentation. You only went because it was required and it didn't go too smoothly because the dongle doesn't work for computers and we didn't have an actual presentation made up yet.
You then headed down to Baxter with Travis (arriving around 0915) and started work on printing the shelves for the embedded Linux computers. After getting the 3D printer started you went down stairs and glued in one end off all the thruster tubes.
You then worked on water proofing the leads to the motors as they aren't very well made at the joint where water might get in. After doing that you both headed to Portland Pie for lunch, which lasted from about 1150 to 1215.
You then went back to work on the motors some more, while Travis went to get a tux and some resistors. While he was out you tapped four metal rods that will serve as the propellor shaft and when Travis got back you press fit the onto the motors.
After that you headed to frisbee, which was at the field hockey field today because there weren't enough rides for everyone. It wasn't a great practice as nobody took it that seriously, and you hurt yourself making a diving catch.
After frisbee you headed back to your house and showered, then Josef and Travis came over around 1800. You three put together the rest of the tether while took more than an hour and a half. Then you and Travis worked on the power transfer system on the float while Josef fixed some coding issues that he had in the main Java program.
You finally finished a rough draft of the power transfer system at 2330.
