The [almost] Final Push

Today was another long day. You woke up at 07:00 and met Nick at the hardware store to try and find 3.5" PVC pipe and special spray paint. You soon left the store and headed down to Baxter as the hardware store did not carry any of the materials you were looking for.

At Baxter you and Nick worked on wiring the submersible and creating a read thruster. You left baxter around 12:30 and headed home. You went to your house while Nick went to meet Josef and Liam at the school. While at your house you finished setting up the Raspberry Pi's (and accidentally broke one!...but no worries, you have another) and fixed the 5v power source you made last night. After working until 18:00 creating ribbon cables for the Pi's, you headed to academic awards. After academic awards you and Josef headed to Home Depot in Topsham and picked up spray paint to paint the sub with.

After returning home you fixed the large epoxied motor, worked on the second beagle bone shield. The second shield is below:


After spending more than 14 hours on the project, you decided to call it a day.
