On Friday, my group, MFO, talked about how we are going to attach the Magnetic Field sensor to the rover. It also needed to be a certian height away from the CPU and the motors. This is so the sensor mixes up the program. We then drew, on a piece of paper, what the attachment arm would look like with the sensor on top. On the same piece of paper we explained why we had to make the sensor so far away from the CPU and what the sensor did. -E. Leo, MFO
On Friday, we (IDep) created a plan for a now concealed tool. This tool will help penetrate a solid object and collect its information based on the dust it expels.This tool is made up of moving parts. the moving parts are aided by gears and twisting rods, connected and gave power by a motor, at the end of said motor will be a dislocate-able appendage hard enough to drill into a foreign object.

On Friday the EDL team decided the plan of dropping the Rover onto the atmosphere of Mars. We chose the Sky-crane. We chose the Sky-crane because it is able to carry heavy objects throught the sky. The Sky-crane was used for the Curiosity Rover. Now we are planning how we are going to make this possible.
On the day of Friday, the EDL Team planned ways to sucessfully land the rover onto the surface of Mars. For example, one of our thoughts/steps was to make a parachute. In other words, we discussed what the stages of the rover would be, as the rover was descending towards Mars' surface. G. Iocovozzi EDL Team
On Friday, Me and my group which is the MFO talked about what we learned in the smaller classes. I am the programer so i talked about the new program. The rest of the group talked about what they did in their small classes. Last we made a big poster showing what are group is and what we do. T.Holt,Programer,MFO
On Friday, my team (CorNav) decided where to put the light sensor. We decided to put the light sensor in the front so it can follow the coordinates droped by the Curiosity Rover droped. -V. Tedesco, CorNav, Scientist
On Friday, my VCom team talked about and created a iPod mount. Our mount is very sturdy and can hold two iPods securely inside of it. The iPods will be facing two sides and take videos from those sides. The iPods will be taking videos of the instruments deploying and seeing if they are working. These videos will be sent back to Mission control so they can see what the rover sees. We think that the iPod mount should be placed in a good location in which the cameras can easily view all the insrtuments. Also, we think that the mount should go on top of the rover somewhere so the cameras have a wide viewing range of what is happening on Mars and what is happening with the instruments. G.Buck, Engineer, VCom
On Friday, Group A team AOA brainstormed that we wanted to have four plans for one Rover. Our first plan was that we wanted to have an ultra sonic sensor on the back and the front incase an encounter in case of a rock from a distance. Therefor, we needed lower touch sensors under the ultra sonic sensor incase the rock is small. Also we have two arms with wheels on each side of the robot to insure the Rover can move arond 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.
On Friday the IDep engineers and technicians met up and made a rough sketch of the instrumente we are going to attempt to deploy on our Rover. We decided to try to make the RAT, Rock Abration Tool. Then our whole Rover team made a big drawing of all of the teams hjobs and what they are going to make the Rover do. D. Neff, IDep
On Friday, the AOA team thought of ideas for the sensors. We decided one sensor in the front one and one in the back. If the rover were to run into a rock the front sensors would touch the rock then it would back up. Then if the rover hit something from behind the sensor on the back would touch the rock and the rover would move away from it. We also will put wheels in the front so the rover can get around the rock when the sensors touch it. I.Calcaginio, Scientist, AOA
On Friday, the IDep Team created a plan for the R.A.T. instrument. R.A.T. stands for Rock Abrasion Tool. It will drill through a rock and collect information from the particles within. We are going to have two motors, one to power the arm and one to power the R.A.T.
On Friday, we had two fourty 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 Friday, the VCom talked about making our heavier iPod mount lighter. Also we talked about making several other iPods. The other mounts were lightweight and held one iPod. Next we are planning to have them on the front and the back. N. Castor, VCom
On Friday, the MFO team started working on our Magnetic Field Sensor. We got most of it done the first day of working on the Rover. We also talked about how we were going to attach the Magnetic Field Sensor to the Rover. We also had to make sure that the Magnetic Field Sensor was a certain height away from the other objects or else it would get caught and might have a hard time moving. -Z.Rogers,MFO
On Friday the A.O.A team brainstormed ideas of where to put the touch sensors. We decided to put one on the front and one on the back. So if it touch's the front it will back up and the back touch sensor will help it if backs into a rock. Everyone helped each other to replace the wheel so that we can have two CPU's. L.Taylor, A.O.A, Project Manager
I am on the IDep team and on Friday we discussed how we would build the RAT. We built the RAT then went to Ms. Hunt's room and we drew the RAT on a big sheet of paper. We had to draw a zoomed in view of the RAT. T.Farsaci, IDep
