Today you woke up at 0530 and met the rest of the team at school at 0610. You then left for UMO and the MLTI conference. You heard the opening keynote speaker talk about innovation in Maine and why the MLTI program is really useful.
You then went to sessions on coding for Mac iOS and OS X. And during the second session went to a "hacker club" meeting. At the second session you got to talk a little bit about your project and see some other cool projects.
You then ate a rather lackluster lunch before getting ready to present at 1325. The four of you then presented in front of about 800 people, which was much less intimidating than expected. The presentation seemed well received and was followed by two other cool presentations. One about a coding class taught by an eighth grader and the other about making movies (the soundtrack and video editing) using MLTI technology.
Upon returning to Freeport around 1700 you headed back to your house with Liam and Travis in tow. You then untwisted the tether so that you could add the foam and put it in a casing. It looks very nice as a finished product, however, we only purchased enough for half and so need to buy the rest on McMaster now that we know it works.
The three of us then ate ribs for dinner (courtesy of your dad) and then went to work on the power transfer system. You are using brushed from an old starter motor and aluminum sheeting to transfer the power from the batteries to the spinning spool and tether.
