An Evening's Work

Sadly today was not as productive as you hoped for. In the morning you took the AP Language and Composition test. After the test, you quickly grabbed something to eat, and then headed back to school. At school you handed in your physics final and dropped a slinky off of a balcony. After physics you handed in your WHAP assignments and said your goodbyes to Mr. Mellon. After that you waited to check in with Mrs. Donovan about this Senior Project.

After school ended you drove Freeport B (frisbee) to Twin Brooks and then headed over to Cumberland Fair Grounds. At 3:30 you played Cumberland A. You had a good, intense game, and was glad for the challenge.

After Frisbee you drove home and took a quick shower in order to make it to Cabaret on time. You watched the Cabaret and were especially drawn to the free food (cookies and crackers + cheese).

After the concert you met back at your house with Josef and Nick. You found an easy way to stream data between the float in the sub and tested the power draw of the smaller stepper motor on the float. You also did some more research on measuring the life of our onboard batteries using an embedded linux system (either BeagleBone or Raspberry Pi).

Most of the day you would have rather been working on the project, but many things made this impossible.

And here is a video of a slinky drop similar to the one you did today:
