Yesterday, we had a regular class period to work on the Rover. We started to work on the programming integration between MFO and AOA teams. Also we successfully put 2 cameras on board.
On Thursday Group C's VCom team was busy building iPod mounts for our rover. We decided to get rid of our original iPod mount idea beacuse it was too heavy. For our new design, we used a couple legos on the base to hold up the iPod, 2 small legos to secure the iPod, and 2 rubber bands to tighten down the iPod. We worked with the other teams to modify our design so it would fit onto the rover. After 2 modifications, we got the first iPod mount of rover C.
The status update is for team AOA we hav ecame up with a name for our rover, It's called the Capability. Also we built a longer touch sensor because of the light sensor. Z.Praxl, AOA
Yesterday we had a regular class period. The AOA, MFO, And the CorNav team all worked together.After a few problems, We where able to program the Rover sucessfuly!
On Thursday my team started to program the rover for the magnetic sensor.the programmers from A.O.A and CorNav all came together to come up with a program for the rover. A.Battreall MFO
On Thursday what we did was get some programs running. The program that we tried was simple just to go forward and try to follow the line. It worked fine and we also tried to get the touch sensors working
On Thursday, we put our heads together and came up with an idea to make our iPod mount lighter then before. We came up with the idea to put the iPod on a large lego then build up longer legos on the side and then to make it lighter instead of using more legos we are going to use rubber bands to make the ipod more stable. We made about 5 mounts that were way lighter then before then we chose the lightest one and made sure it fit on the rover. We have come a long way. L. Clifford, VCom
On Thursday group C's EDl team worked on building the heat shield. We found out that the volume of the heat shield has to be 1092 inches squared. J.Sweredoski, EDL
yesterday, we worked on our rover for 40 minutes. On the IDep team we drilled a hole in the laser mount so that we can turn the laser on. J. Hodge, IDep
I am from the IDep team, and we have made a ChemCam that holds a laser, and we have drilled a hole into the tube that the laser sits in, so our arm can come down and hit the laser button. A.Hall Engineer, IDep
On Thursday, Group C's EDL team worked on the decent into mars's atmosphere. At first, we had to find out the volume of the heat sheild witch is 1092 inches squared. Then we had to take the volume of heat sheild to find out if the parachute is large enought. After that we when through what materials would be good for the heat shaild and parachute. L. Crego, EDL
On Thursday, we programmed the robotic arm. We also had to fix the arm becuase it was slightly too heavy. I had to take zipties and strap down the probe so it doesn't just hang there. We had a slight problem with the motor becuase it wouldnt bring the arm back up to the neutral spot. Then we made a slight adjustment to the program to fix it. M.Sicilia,IDep
On Friday, my team designed a tube that the laser pointer can fit into. After that they made an engine powered arm that comes down and pushes the button to turn the laser pointer on. It was a big step, because we now have the farthest along ChemCam. S.Kinney, IDep
Yesterday, we had a 40 minute work session to finish our iPod mount. We attached the iPod mount to the rover. We are now trying to find a way to attach another iPod mount without weighing down the rover. ~S. Parkis, VCom team

Yesterday we had a 40 minute build period in order to create a program. The ROVER is programed and working.
