Today we finished our ROV!! 

We finished our hydraulics (and secured the tubing) and made sure all the air bubbles were out. We taped everything together, and made sure everything was ready for test day. We also moved the ROV around the pool, to get practice with the controls. 

Jenny and Quinn put velcro on the ROV and the camera, so that we can attach the camera to the ROV. 

Yessica finished our Fish ID, and found all the fishes and labeled their common names.

                                 Today we started off by testing to see if the hydraulics worked.

 

We used tubing and a syringe to test this out. 

Jenny attached the tongs onto the ROV using duct tape. We made sure that the tongs were attached onto the ROV correctly.

Quinn made sure everything was attached and ready to be tested in the water!

We checked the buoyancy of our ROV and made adjustments as needed.

We made sure all the motors on our ROV functioned correctly and got used to maneuvering our ROV.

We collected materials that we thought could help us with some tasks. Next class we plan on attaching these materials to our ROV.

Today, Quinn created the control board. She also connected the power cord to the alligator clips. 

Today, Yessica drilled holes in the PVC pipe. She also started to construct our ROV frame. 

Today, Jenny and Bella worked on finishing the motors. After finished water proofing with tape, they drilled holes in film canisters. Then they connected wires to the motors.
