  7. On Friday during the work period 9th period, Group C started to design a poster for our ideas. For the VCom team, we drew an iPod mount on the poster. The iPod mount will wrap around the rover, with 2 iPod mounts in the front of the rover, and 1 iPod on each side. 2 people from the VCom team drew on the poster and 2 people brianstormed ideas on what to say for our presentation. The reason why we decided to put the iPods in those places was because we want a wider veiw from the fron t, because the rover is going to be facing and driving forward, but is important to have 1 on each side too. The iPod mount is able to fit any sensor you need to put on there.

  8. On Friday, we built a proto type of how we're going to put the ipods on the rover. We are going to put them on the sides andfront. There is going to be two on the front and one on each side. Then all of our group drew our pictures on a long brown sheet of paper. It showed our ideas of what we were doing. We decided who was going to speak for your team. After that we practiced on what we were going to say.

  10. 9th period on Friday afternoon we, the CorNav Team, got together and talked about how we were going to attach the light sensor. Then drew a sketch of our final decision. We all agreed on having a wheel hang off the rover with the light senor on it to keep everything balanced. We also put the wheel on the front so when the light senor was picking up Curiosity's path it wouldn't get dirty. After we all had our ideas down on the paper we presented our ideas to the class.

  12. On Friday we created a plan for each rover team. all four groups(A,B,C,D) made their own plan,our design was a long arm with to hold the MFS or magnetic field sensor. It had to be high enough so the magnets in the motors and CPU diddent effect the rover's ability to orient north.

  13. On Friday, we decided to draw our iPod mount to present at morning meeting. We are making an iPod mount that can hold 4 iPods. There is an iPod on each side of the rover. Every team drew their ideas out on a long brown poster to present this morning. We put lots of detial into each of our scetches. We labeled every object we added to our mount. I think that our Ipod mount will work very well. We shared many of our ideas we collected on Friday, this morning.

  14. On Friday, Group C team AOA brainstormed that we wanted to have 4 plans on one rover. Our first plan was that we wanted to have a ultra sonic sensor on the back and the front incase an encounter from a distance. therefor we needed touch sensors lower under the ultra sonic sensor incase the rock was small. Also we had two wheels on arms on each side of the robots to just assure that if there was rocks or something was on the side of the robot that the ultra sonic or the touch sensor didn't get touched or seen then the wheels will put it back on track. Our fourth idea was to put 3 by 3 wheels on the bottom to assure perfect balance.

  15. On Friday the CorNav team worked on our drawing of the ROVER. Then we had to talk about our drawings. I talked about the drawing and what we would need. I also talked about how dust and dirt would get into the Light sensor. I also mentioned how we needed another wheel to steady the ROVER, so the light sensor won't fall over or fall off.

  16. Friday we all sat down together, as Group C, and drew out what our rover would look like. We then shared our ideas to the class so we could have a general idea of what it looked like. For the CorNav team, we decided to put the light sensor on an arm. The arm would then be attached to a large wheel; to keep the sensor from being to close to the ground, and keeping it balanced. The arm would keep the sensor at least two to three inches from the rover itself, and keeping dirt out of the sensor.

  17. On Friday, group C VCom team decided to draw our iPod mount on the poster. Our iPod mount can hold a maximum of four iPod's. The iPod mount attaches to the side of the bricks. The iPod mount is also capable of attaching other devices such as touch sensor's and light sensor's. We had to design an iPod mount that would be stable and not wiggle around when using the light sensor. While we were working on our poster we had other people working on our presentation.

  18. On Friday the E.D.L team worked on a plan to land the rover safley on Mars. We decided we will have a heat shield so that the rover does not get too hot. Then after we entered the atmosphere the heat shield will pop off and the parachute will deploy. After a few minutes of free falling the airbags will deploy. When the airbag comes in contact with the ground then the parachute will fly off and land somewhere else. The airbag will roll for aproximatley 3 miles and then when it completley stops, the airbags will deflate. Then the rover will be off on its mission

  21. On Friday we brainstormed about how we are going to get to the line Curiosity had mapped out for us. Also we talked about putting touch sensors on the front and back of the rover. Next we also wanted to put a wheels on the side that just in case the touch sensor does not get pushed. The wheel will just roll around the rock. Our last thing that we want to put on the ultra sensor on the front.

  26. On Friday we made a long poster of all the different jobs we have for the rover. My team (IDep) drew a brief picutre of what the rover would look like when we added the insturment to deploy the probe. We did this so we could get a basic idea of what the insturment is going to look like.

  28. On Friday we had a 80 minute block to design a structure for each goups responsibility. I was part of the M. F. O. team. The design was a long arm to hold the magnetic field sensor. It had to be high enough to not detect the magnets in the CPU or in the motors. The design was then drawn on the 15 foot poster that each group A,B,C,D got.

  33. On Friday, 1-11-13, we had an 80 minute block period. We designed a drawing for each groups jobs. I am a scientist on the IDep team, and my job is to make a CHEMcam, (it has to be able to turn itself on and off, as well as aim for a certain rock, or other evidense source.My group and i will attach the CHEMcam onto the rover as it launches into mars) We drew it onto a 15 foot long peice of paper, that shows all of the groups projects and what they are currently working on.

  37. On Friday, the AOA team brainstormed and desinged a plan for how the rover was going to avoid obstacles. The plan was to have two touch sensors in the front of the rover and on the back of the rover. We have four touch sensors because if we had only two there could be a chance of the rover backing up hitting something and flipping over. Then we had the idea of putting a huge bumper going across the touch sensors on the front and the back of the rover. Then we thought of having two ultra sonic sensors on the top of the rover facing the opposite directions so they could detect the big objects on Mars.

  38. On Friday afternoon, our teams created a poster that had diagrams of what our plans are to create our rover. For the IDep team, we drew instruments of what we were thinking of connecting to the rover. For our instruments, we drew a diagrqam with arms, a diagram for a laser, and a diagram for a drill. After that, we decided to do a CHEMCAM, which we are currently working on now.

  39. On Friday we had a 80 minute block to design a structure for the group. I was on the MFO team. The structure design was to have the magnetic sensor higher up to not detect the magnets in CPU or in the motors. After that we had to put the drawing on the 15 foot poster that each group got. Then we practiced our presentation for Monday

  40. On Friday , all the groups got together in the big room and was told what we had to do we all go split up into different room so we can start design of what the rover project would be like. Im apart of the Edl team an we were desinging how the heat sheld was going to open and how we was going to get the rover to touch the ground. then we practice what we was going to say for the presentation for monday

  41. On friday we brainstormed what possible instument we might have and what they might have looked like on the mars rover that we are going to deploy on febuary 1. We have multiple sketches on what they would do or what they would look like and if they would function with the other intruments.

  42. What the A.O.A contributed to the rover is make two touch sensors. We will have three different programs. Each sensor has a different program but when they both hit at the same time a third program will happen.
