Main thruster and epoxy

You woke up around 0745 today and met up with the rest of the crew at school around 0900. You and Liam then headed directly to Baxter while Josef and Travis took care of tuxedos and electronic parts.

At Baxter you and Liam set up the router to cut out the mount for the main thruster. You the finished up some CAD models and wrote a little bit more of your essay. When Travis and Josef arrived you all split up and worked on a variety of things including readying the router, redoing the G-code for a new bit and putting together the last of the through hulls.

Liam then left and you and him edited each others papers. Following that you and Travis finished setting up the router, and after a little problem solving got the code to run. It still isn't quite done but should be soon. While it was cutting the three of you ordered pizza from Portland Pie Company and then Travis picked it up.

While that was happening you also had the 3D printer going to make a servo bracket and the last pot for a ESC controller. After finishing up around 1600 you headed back to Freeport. While Travis swam you ate dinner and counted up the number of man hours we have spend in the last two weeks as well as the total number of bytes that we have used in this project.

At 1900 you headed to Travis's house to work on a couple of things. First you epoxied the final ESC. You then spent a while trying to get the cameras to look nice before you epoxied them into their cases as well. Lastly you helped Travis with a voltage step down that he had been working on for most of the evening. When all was said and done you returned home at 2350 to write this post…
