I'm on the VCom team and we created a bunch of different ipod mounts. We also put down what jobs we wanted on a index card. They are Project Manager, Integration Specialist, Blog Administrator, Blog Authors, Inventory Manager. The other teams worked on what they had to. For example the EDL group worked on building a parachute and other ideas on how to land the rover on mars. D. Crossman, VCom
The MFO team of Group C started a prototype for the magnetic field sensor. The idea came up as a long arm and the magnetic field sensor on the top. We have it designed so that it will not fall off. Also we modified the CPU on the ROVER so that the CPU lays flat on the top. This benifited the MFO team because it gave us more oppourtunities to renforce the arm. A. Kelsey, MFO
On the block period the MFO team created a prototype arm to hold our magnetic field sensor. the arm is 4 legos high and it suspends the MFS high enough so it doesen't mess with the magnets in the CPU and motors. We have yet to test the ROVER and all it's sensors.

The VCom team in group C made several mounts on Tuesday. Within 80 minutes we made about 7 iPod mounts. After we had to size each ones to fit the rover. None of them fit so we had to adjust them all. We decided to use the iPod mount that can hold three iPod's. Our iPod mount is 3/4 of a square that is built out of legos.
On Tuesday, the AOA team created a way to make our touch sensors better by adding a long lego piece in the front of them so it will act like a bumper. Then we started making the programs and testing them in the test bed.
On Tuesday, the VCom team made several iPod mounts out of legos. We had to see which mounts fit well on the rover and we also had to make sure our iPod mounts werent too heavy. We couldnt put too many legos on one mount because then it would be harder to land on Mars. The mounts has to fit perfectly and be a perfect weight fot the rover to land sucessfully. Together, the VCom team made about 7 mounts just on Tuesday. We are putting our ideas together to make sure our mount is perfect for our rover. L. Clifford, VCom
I'm on the IDep team for Rover C and what we did is made a chemcam, ROVER C IDep Team Develops CHEMCAM. This holds the laser that collects samples from rocks. We also picked jobs for rover C. Project Manager, Integrigtion Specilist, Blog administrator, Blog Authors, and Inventory Manager.
During the block period, we figured out that we had to put the light sensor a few inches above the ground. If not, dirt would get into the light sensor and it wouldn't work properly. We also decided to put an extra wheel right in the middle of the Rover. If not the light nencor would drag and eventualy fall off.
On Tuesday, my team designed the magnetic sensor to see how high and steady it had to be on the rover.We started to build it and we put it on the rover. We put the rover on the side of the rover. The sensor has to be high enough so it doesn't get interfered with the magnets in the brick and the motors. A.Battreall, MFO
On Tuseday my team and I bulit the arm for our M.F.O team it was bulit high in the air and maide to be levle and sturdy so it dosnt tip and lose conection. the arm was made up high so it can keep conection with the north navagation and earth conection so it can get to couriositys path and start the adveture.
On Tuesday we made a double touch sensor and made sure that it fit on the model. Also we made sure it had a bumber so it does not get stuck or if it does not get pushed.
I am on IDep team and we created a robotics tool that holds a laser. On the robotics tool, we built a orange tube onto the tool, and we put the laser into the tube, and we have other lego robotics tools to push the laser button and support the laser tube itself. We also decided if we wanted certain jobs. We could be a Project Manager, Integration Specialist, Blog Administrator, Blog Author, Inventory Manager. We had a choice to see which job we wanted, if we wanted another one. A. Hall, Engineer of IDep
Tuesday we had finished our light sensor, and attached it to the front of the rover. We got together with the AOA team and discovered that we cannot use the arm or wheel as planned. We still attached it successfully and without any complications. The light sensor is already programmed and ready for testing. It has already been in the test bed, proving that the design and program of it can withstand Mars' surface. K. Lewis, CorNav
On Tuesday Group C's VCom team was designing multiple iPod mounts. One of which was an iPod mount that was shaped as a 3/4 of a square that could hold 1 iPod on each side, and one in the front. Another one we designed only fit one iPod and the legos were built up as a latch to keep the iPod in place. Originally, the VCom team had designed an iPod mount similar to the first one I explained,except it had 2 iPods in the front. When we went to put it on the rover it was too large and heavy, so we shrinked the size of it. Currently we are still working on making the mount lighter.
What the AOA did for the rover is make a program for the touch sensors. Right now the program allows the rover to back up when it hits an obstacal. This benefits the rover by allowing it to move away from obstacals. We plan to add to the program and write two different programs for each touch sensor. I.Cavanaugh, AOA
I am on the IDep team and on Tuesday we constructed a mount to hold the laser. We also made an arm connected to a motor that swings around and turns on the laser so we can shoot it at a rock. J. Hodge, IDep
On Tuesday Groups C's EDL team calculated the size of the rover so we can find out the size of the heat shield. We had to take into consideration the changes that were being made to the rover. some of the changes were adding iPod mounts and sensors on the rover. We made dimentions of a very large parachute. The diameter was 7 feet in diameter. The circumfrence is 22 feet. J.Sweredoski,EDL
On Tuesday, Groups C EDL team found out the volume of the rover so we could caculate the size of the heat sheild. Also, we found out the size of the parachute so we could have a safe landing , because at the moment the parachuts circumfrence is 22ft, but if a major change is made, and the EDL team isn't informed, it could be too big or too small. So, if the volume of the rover is 748 inches squared, then we would have to make sure that the volume of the heat sheild is higher. We had to take in concideration of what the other teams are doing. As in how an iPod dock was added, and how the brick is now lying down flat. If the EDL team isn't informed of these things, then the heat sheild would be to small and the parachute would be all messed up. L. Crego, EDL
On tuesday the EDL team caculated the size of the rover so that we know how big the heat sheild and parachute must be to have a safe landing.We had to take into consideration of other teams changes and adjustments of the rover so that we can modify the size of the heat sheild. We also needed to find out the atachments like the long arm on the top and the sensor on it so it deosnt break or fall off during impact. We already know that the parachute and the heat sheild will have to be made out of wire and,or wood or even metal.
