Dec. 10 Log

Today Mr. Cuttrel showed the electrical engineers the wire disconnects that are here at the school. Next class we will be experimenting and rummaging through last year's ROV remnants. I spoke with my partner RB about how we are going to tackle the building in the next few weeks.

Dec. 16 Log

On December 13th and 15th the rest of the Electrical Engineers and myself did some experimental work in the Systems Lab. We went through the remnants of last years ROV and discovered many reusable items including motors, cameras, and wire. The motors are either Attwood 3000 motors and a series of converted bilge pumps. All but 2 of the Motors work and all of the bilge pumps are functional. We tested them with a 9V battery.

Dec. 1st. Log

Today I am researching which wires will be best to use for the tether and the best wire connectors. Essentially I am working out the kinks of my parts list and plan of procedures list.
