  3. On Friday, my group worked on making the arm that swings down more stable and more accurate then before. We did this so that no matter what the arn wil always hit the laser and turn it on. we also were making sure it hit every time by testing it and constantly running it.

  4. Throughout the week, Group C was working on the rover. On Tuesday, the VCom team started off with one iPod mount on the side of the rover, but after some changes were made to the rover it became obvious that the mount no longer served a purpose. So, we decided to make another lightweight mount to put on the front of the rover. Wednseday we continued to modify iPod mounts based on the Cor-Nav team's changes to the light sensor. Thursday was a stressful day because our goal was to get an ipod mount to broadcast, but we got the mount on the rover, and the camera is able to see fine.

  5. It was nice to have all week to work. This week gave us a chance to talk about our process and goal. I think if we give ourselves goals and work hard then we can achieve them. Also on the VCom team we got the iPod mount attached to the rover. Our rover has a fully operated ChemCam.

  6. On Friday we were still working on the mont for the touch sensor. We finished the mount and have it connected to the rover. We had to change the mount entirly but now it fits just right. Now all we have to do is just program it.

  7. Capability's EDL team worked well togther. We are now finishing the base of the heat shield where the rover will actually be sitting. Also, we made a new adhesive called Styro-glue, wich can hold styrofoam togther with out breaking it. The next thing we have to do is finish the parachute, wich isn't going to be a big problem. Even after that, the EDL team has found out a more efficient way to make grooves in the styrofome that can save money and time.

  8. Capability's EDL team worked well together. We are very close to finishing the base of the heat shield we will brobably need about 40 more minutes. We mad a new adhesive glue called styro-glue. this is a mixture with styrafoam and elmers glue. This holds together strafoam better then regular glue.

  9. On Friday we had a work session and our group made it so that every time we sent the program the arm would be one hundred percent. I feel like my team accomplished many things and that the rover project will work.

  11. We had made our iPod mount and put it on the rover but then we wanted to make it even more light. The mount we were using was too large and we knew there had to be a solution to connect it to the rover without a specifict iPod mount. Wednesday the VCom team had to change the placement of the mount because of the changes of the Cor-Navs light sensor. Thurday, we got our Ipod securley on the rover and it was able to broadcast.

  18. I like how we had 40 min work sessions all week. We got our light sensor on for good no more moving it! Also we got the program down thanks to Zach. So we had free time to help out with the other teams who maybe needed help.

  19. The EDL team Made the base of the heat shield. It was the second attempt. The first base did not fit the meashurments of the actual heat shield so we had to make a new one. We also made the parachute. out of the three things we made the parachute was tthe easiest.
