Today you managed to get a lot of work done despite being at the school all day. This morning you attended World History class, where you turned in your final and reviewed for the test. After that you went and worked on the heat sinks for the LEDs in the library. This took up all of period 3/4 and Falcon as well as some of lunch. The final solution involved gaining five degrees in two separate ways, so that in combination they make an angle of ten degrees with the front of the submersible. This was a very confusing way to solve the problem and took a lot of trial and error.
After lunch came physics, in which we reviewed for the AP exam and turned in our finals. We also discussed various physics phenomena, and decided to test one by dropping a slink off the FPAC balcony. It is really cool to watch because the bottom of the slinky stay suspended in the air, mere inches above the ground, while the top of the slinky fall all the way down. Only when the top reaches and hits the bottom does it fall the few inches to the ground.
After physics you, Travis, and Josef met up with Ms. Donovan for the advisor meeting. Liam wasn't in attendance as he had chorus. The meeting went well and you now know that we are presenting to about 800 people for the MLTI conference.
After school ended you headed to the ultimate game with the rest of the team. After a back and forth game that was very physical FU came out victorious (11-10) at hard cap. After a quick diner and shower you watched the Cabaret (which was quite good).
After that you and Josef headed over to Travis's house and made a breakthrough on the motors and possibly video streaming. It turns out you can easily control the amperage draw of the servo motors by adjusting the trim pot on the controller board. Josef and Travis found that you would be able to send videos via a socket server, the only questions that remain is how fast is it and can you write over a file so it doesn't get really big.
