Baxter and camera disassembly (5/16)

You, Nick, started the day by unpacking from Model UN. Then Travis came to your house and you worked a little with the float. Then the two of you headed down to Baxter to talk with Mr. Amory and deliver a McMaster order he needed for their part of our project.

When you arrived they were setting up the CNC router to cut out motor bracing for the motor thrusters. You showed Amory our heat sink ideas and he was not a huge fan, telling us that getting to fit inside the dome would be much better.

You guys also looked into buying 10" PVC for the float because the batteries you bought won't fit in the 8" you currently have. You found the best deals on eBay, but were not able to find a good price on end caps so you decided to wait.

You then returned home to get ready for Frisbee, but first you went to the dump and met with NHS officers to plan the NHS induction ceremony. At Frisbee the team master the play called "dice" and learned a new play called "YKK." 

After Frisbee you headed to Travis's house and worked some with the camera's. It turned out that the new webcam is much bigger than expected. Even after taking of the casing so that only the circuit board is still attached to the cord the camera is 3.25" long and so barely fits in the sub.
