Helped come up with a team name and get our blog started.

Hannah and I started measuring all the items used during each task that we will have to complete. I took photos of each object and also helped weigh it. Also, I wrote thoughts and observations for each task.

Finished measuring, weighing, and taking pictures of each object for each task that we will have to do with Hannah.

Today I continued to study for our groups interview with Ms. S and then she asked us questions. After we were tested we got to try out the finished ROV in the kiddy pool which was very cool to get to try out.

Our group assigned everyone in our group what we will be building. Hannah and I are going to be building the frame. I went to the video links and watched the videos for building the frame. I also read all of the information about how to build the frame for the ROV and what else we will need to do when we build it.

Today Hannah and I worked on the frame of our ROV. We tried many different ways that it could look and we believe that we found one that works for our ROV. We should be having a final frame that we like next class.

Today Hannah and I built our rough draft of our frame. After finishing that we measured everything, totaled length of parts, and counted how many parts we would need. We made our drawings of our frame for the ROV. Then we made our shopping list and Ms. S gave us all of our parts. Hannah and I then measured and cut all of our parts so that they were the lengths we needed them to be. Finally, we put all of our parts together to build our ROV's official frame and we will test it out next class to see if it works.

Today Hannah and I drilled holes where they needed to be in our ROV in order to have it be buoyant. We also had to make some adjustments by cutting a pipe so that we could fit another T for another motor to be attached to. We then had our ROV frame done and tested it out in the pool. We learned that it flipped upside down but we fixed the problem easily by flipping a motor upside down as well and then it was able to move and work well. We have only a couple things to think about but it seems everything is coming together.

Today Hannah and I calculated all the math that we need to know in order to make our ROV buoyant and we also built a way to be able to pick up the coral and the octopus with a scooper which we duck taped onto the ROV. We put it below the motors that way the motors don't get to close to the ground.
