On Wednesday, we accomplished many things. One thing that we accomplished was having our Touch Sensor made and connected to the Rover. We also got to work with the M.F.O Team so that they could connect thier Magnetic Field Sensor to the Rover. L.Taylor,A.O.A
On Wednesday, the AOA team decided we needed to have two bricks. Most of the time we worked with the MFO team to figure out how to attach the magnetic field sensor. It had to be away from the brick because of the magnets in the bricks. We had a though time trying to figure out how to add another brick for the motors. We need 5 motors. - I.Calcaginio AOA
On Wednesday, when we had Science for 80 minutes the EDL team made the heat shield that the Rover would go in. It took us a while to make it, almost all period. It's like a cone we made from cardboard and taped it all together. We are not done yet, we are going to spray paint it silver so it looks aluminum.
On Wednesday, my team accomplished an idea on what our light sensor would look like. It took us the entire period to agree on a design, but we finally decided on what to do. We decided on a motor with an arm, with the light sensor at the end of the arm. A wheel is connected to the light sensor to keep it off the ground. -V. Tedesco, CorNav
On Wednesday, the IDep Team accomplished a ton. We hooked up the Rock Abrasion Tool, R.A.T. to a motor. We also tested it on a rock and some pieces of the rock fell off which was a great accomplishment.
On Wednesday, my team and I (IDep) built the RAT (rock abrasion tool) tools. This tool consists, originally, of four moving gears, and one poignant drill bit. We realized that we restricted the movement speed on the drill bit by having all four elements moving. So we condensed the moving parts to two main gears, and set the drill bit horizontally through a cage of stabilizing implements. This way the drill bit is steady and won’t shake in the drilling process, and it would gyrate twice as fast. Once, happy with our RAT, we were faced with the challenge of dropping the arm onto the desired target, this is currently what we are working on perfecting. N.Zesky, IDep
On Wesday I along with the MFO team. We Engined the CPU on the rover so it lays flat. Also we built a test touch sensor on the rover. That is what we did on Wesday.
On Wednesday block the EDL team met up for eighty minutes to work together. When we got to work we were deciding what to make the heat shield. The heat shield is designed to block out any heat. So we decided to use cardboard to make the structure of the heat sheild. We use ducktape to hold the pieces of cardboard together. Now it looks like a cone except the top of the heat shield isn't covered. Once in a while after every five minutes we got to where the A Rover is and we saw how tall the Rover was so that we could see if we needed to make the heat sheild larger. And now we are just working on the bottom and top of the heat shield. We are having no troubles and the group is getting along.
On Wednesday, the VCom team worked on making more iPod mounts. One of the mounts is heavyweight, but had a front, right ,and left view. Another one we built was light weight, one iPod, and was only a few legos with two rubber bands. Also we made one with just legos and one iPod. N. Castor, VCom
The IDep Team worked on building the Rock Abrasion Tool (RAT) ,during our block period on Wednesday. We used a motor to make the drill bit spin and we also made an arm that will lower the RAT so that it touches a rock and makes dust. The next task we are going to need to accomplish is we need to make something to collect the dust and do experiments on it. D. Neff, IDep
On Wednesday, my team and I started making the heat shield. A heat shield is a shield that prevents heat from coming in. We used cardboard to make the heat shield. We taped all the pieces together and made a cone shape. After we are all done with the structure of the heat shield we were going to spray paint it so its not boring.
On Wednesday, the VCom team worked on a iPod mount. First we tried to build one that could hold 4 iPods. Then we tried to go with a light weight. E.Roberts,VCom
On Wednesday, we accomplished three iPod mounts. One thing we had to change was our iPod mount that held three iPods. We had to change it because it was too heavy to put on the rover. - T.Nolan,VCom
On Wednesday during the block schedule my team(MFO)mostly worked with the A0A team. The MFO team mainly focused on building the Magnetic Field Sensor. We spent about 40 mintutes trying to get the CPU to face upwards. We also talked to EDL to make sure that the Rover wouldn't have a problem and we also made sure that the Rover would fit into the capsule. Z.Rogers, MFO
During the block period team MFO accomplished getting the Rover situated and attached the magnetic field sensor. We also worked with AOA to get the CPU face upward to attach the magnetic field sensor to it. Also we talked to EDL to make sure the Rover would fit in the capsule. Then we came across a problem at the end of the period. We ended up having 5 motors. So our solution was to add another CPU to plug in the motors. -E. Leo, MFO
On wednesday,we did alot of things and accomplished them. My Team and I made our Magnetic Field Senser. The senser wasan`t facing forwards so we had to change the way the brick was facing. I didint know all of the controls so i had to guess about some of the controls. We fixed the way the brick was facing and and put the senser on.Last, we wrote notes at the end and cleaned up.
On Wednesday, our VCom team came up with really good designs for iPod mounts. We made two single iPod mounts that hold a single iPod. The mounts are very lightweight and hold the iPods very good. Also, we made a really good iPod mount that holds three iPod mounts in the front, and both right and left. To finish off the day, we were disscusing about making a rotating mount.
During the block period my group and I were able to accomplish a lot! We came up with a tremendous amount of ideas, which made everything far more difficult. Eventually, the EDL team agreed to the idea of making the heat shield out of cardboard. During the making of the heat shield we held all the cardboard together by duct tape. Although the EDL Team has much more to complete. We are in the process of building the landing device to land the Rover sucessfully. We are doing the best of our capibilities to do so. G. Iocovozzi EDL Team
On Wednesday, we had two forty minute periods. During that we came up with a light sensor that had a wheel and a motor that can make it move up and down. Also we came up with another one that was too heavy so we scratched that idea. So we went with the lighter one instead. C.Engineri,CorNav
On Thursday MFO mostly worked with AOA. We attached our magnetic feild sensor but it is not programed yet. Also we added another CPU to the rover becuase of the amount of motors we have. One of the CPUs is facing up and the other is facing down. ~E. Leo, MFO
During the block period on Wensday the IDep team got a ton done! We got everything on to the RAT. We attached a drill to a motor so that we can program the motor to spin which will drill into the rock. T.Farsaci, IDep
