Toypedio launcher for AUVSI

Fiber optic tether for AUV!

AUVSI Day 1

We arrived in San Diego at 3pm and set out to organize the remainder of the day. Jim Haugen went to the nearby Ralp's Grocery store to get dinner and breakfast supplies. We then proceeded to the beach to have a cook out of hamburgers while watching the sun set. The team still needed a team picture for the presentation so we decided to take one at the beach. Jill Jones took the picture, thanks Miss Jones! See attached pic. Some played in the ocean , some rode bikes and some played in the sand. After dinner we went back to the hotel to rehearse the presentation. We are still a little rough. We will get better. Tomorrow, Tuesday we check in and go through orientation. I hope to have more pics by then, stay tuned.

Getting Ready for the Championships!

Liz has begun loading totes with raw materials for robot repairs. We have finished retrofitting the robot with pneumatics and it seems to perform a lot better. We are all really excited about the chances we have this year! It was great winning the Az Regional. It took ten years and it was great! Here are some pics
