Today you woke up fairly early and headed down to Baxter with the whole group. When you arrived you were asked/forced to give an impromptu presentation about Project RoboGoby to Mr. Amory's class. After the class was over you headed to the computer lab with Mr. Amory and worked out how to fit the LEDs and their heat sinks into the dome, turns out the best solution is placing the lenses into the actual dome.
You then created a quick CAD model of a jig to cut out PVC, created the MasterCam code and cut out plywood using the CNC router. It was amazing how quickly the router cut out the part, and I realized that the hardest part of machining things is setting up the code and getting the piece to be perfectly in line before cutting.
After that you headed to Portland Pie for pizza, and then worked a short time more at Baxter. You then headed to frisbee with everyone but Josef (as well as Ben and Bryce Schmidt and Quinton). At frisbee you again worked on the new stacks that you came up with.
You then went home and cleaned up for the NHS induction ceremony – as a NHS officer you got to swear in next years NHS students. After that you went to Travis's house and completed the jigs for the PVC.
(Unfortunately this post is two days late as you forgot the night of and felt sick last night)
