Finishing the Thrusters

Today you woke up at 08:00. You edited your Senior Project write-up and then went to meet the rest of the Limbeck team at FHS. There, you decided to split up. You and Josef would go inside and hand in books/assignments while the other two went directly to Baxter. You and Josef also needed to drop off your tuxedos and pick up a few 5v regulators at H.R. Distributors in Portland. After doing all those things, you arrived at Baxter at 10:30 hoping to finish all of the thrusters.

At Baxter you worked on finishing the second half of the submersible. You attached the other two motors and glued in the through-holes. After doing this you then put in 3d printed garbage blocks to stop any material from getting caught in the thrusters. At around 14:30 you stopped working and had lunch. After that you helped Nick cut our the rear thruster on the CnC router and also spoke with Mr. Amory about some details of the project.

While cutting our the large thruster mount, Nick took this awesome picture:

You thought that was worth sharing. Your returned to Freeport around 16:20 and then went to swimming. After swimming you met everybody back at your house hoping to epoxy another ESC and the cameras, wire up the motors in the sub, and finish the 5v power source for the float. Although both the cameras and controller were epoxied, you were not able to get the power source working. At first you had 2 resistors confused because of different online diagrams. After fixing them the source did not cooperate. After roughly 3 hours of work only half of the power sourced worked...hmmmm. You believe there is a problem with the radio shack perf-board as you had a similar electronics problem with the laser harp. You can't wait to fix it for tomorrow.
