Baxter Again

Today you woke up early to help Jessica with her physics. After meeting with her in the morning, you headed to the hardware store to meet Nick. At the hardware store you bought screws for the power transfer system on the float (which you worked on last night).

At 09:00 you and Nick headed down to Baxter Academy to cut out the through holes for the thrusters. You dropped Nick off and went to rent a tux for prom...unfortunately they were closed. You headed back to Baxter and continued helping Nick make the jig for the PVC. At around 12:00 you and Nick stopped for lunch. You then headed out again and actually rented a tux this time. Soon after you got back, Liam showed up. After an hour and half more of work, all of the PVC had the correct through hole cuts needed for our final prototype!

At 14:30 you left Baxter with Quinton, Ben, and Bryce in tow. You were heading to the second-to-last frisbee game of the entire year. You played South Portland, and although they were supposed to be good, they were not. Your team beat them easily.

After frisbee you first headed home and then headed to swimming. After swimming you met the team at your house and continued working on the software. You charged the large LiFePO4 batteries (pictured below) and finished the threaded python server. You then created a few different final orders for the project (which included: LEDs, an LCD screen, jumper cables).





You also dedicated tomorrow to an entire day of project work...we're hoping to get more sensors interfaces, final orders placed, and CAD designs completed.
