Second Pool Test (Seawolf III)

Location: Charmichael Gym
Duration: ~2 Hours

Details:

On April 5th, we conducted Seawolf III's second pool test- Another success! Since our previous test, we have added part of the new subframe which will house the dropper, grabber and launcher units. The connectors for the X-axis (forward) thrusters were also completed which allowed us to test that portion of our code. Ultimately, the craft proved to be very stable with the new addition. Additionally, we are considering replacing the heavy-duty ratchets (which secure the Pelican case) with lighter-weight backpack straps. The new laptop power supply, which will alow us to power the netbook from the main battery bank, was not tested due to time constraints.

Thumbs up to everyone who helped out for this event!

Pictures will be posted soon...
