Yesturday in science, the VCom team built 6 different ipod monts for the rover. We built 6 different ones so that if one of them does not work we will have different options to use. O. McEachron, VCom
Today we began the rover build. We have been able to build the wheel on to the light sensor just as we designed it to be. We also developed a rover program that enables the rover to use the light sensor to follow Curiosity's path. The program consists of motor A sensing light and motor B sensing dark. This process is repeated so that it won't stop along the way. M. Green, CorNav
On Wednesday the AOA team attatched two Touch Sensors and one Ultra Sonic sensors. We also programmed the Touch Sensors and Ultra Sonic Sensor to avoid rocks and obstacles in our path to Cruiosity's path. We still have a alot of programming and building but we are getting that. H. Husnay, AOA
Yesterday in Science the VCom team bulit six possible ipod mounts we can use for ther rover. Today we are going to try and attach various ipod mounts onto the rover. K. Burgess, VCom
On Wednesday, I built the arm that will go on to the Rover and will be attatched to the Magnetic Sensor. The sensor was placed so that it was perfectly parallel to the ground so that it can orient the Rover north with the most accuracy. K. Hernandez, MFO
Yesterday some techincians in the group met and built the test base for the Rover. I was one og the technicians that helped build the test Rover. The base was a little late getting made, but the teams had more time to come up with good ideas for the Rover. It was late because we missed a couple of steps when making it. S. Johnson, AOA
On wednesday the CorNav team worked on the light sensor arm so that the rover can follow Curiositys path to get to the targeted spot. H. McCarthy, CorNav
On Wednesday, we started to build the magnetic arm while the others built the rover. When the rover was finally done being built we had the arm already built. Then we had to check if the magnetic arm would work on the rover but the arm was too big. We have to get the magnetic arm built again but make it smaller. F.Colosi, MFO
On Wednesday, my team and I started working on the arm for the temperature probe. We have to make it long enough so that it can reach over a rock and into the container of liquid and take the temperature. D. Carlson, IDep
On Wednesday, the EDL team worked on making the capsule to hold the rover. The capsule took the whole 80 minutes to build. We used trial and error to find out the right size and shape for the capsule. It was about four feet wide, and four feet tall. This proccess was very stressfull. Our team worked great for the first build day. J.Bousquet, EDL
In science class, my team [VCom] was building ipod holders to place the ipods. We made 6 of them to use. When we are done, we will put our ipod holders on our rover. We had to make them light wieghted so the rover won't have a hard time moving. At the end of class, we were given jobs to do during class.
On Wednesday, the EDL team started to build the landing enclosure for our rover. We used paper, and tape to build a cone for the rover to go in. We also have our parachute to attach to it. Today we are going to make sure the enclosed cone is sturdy by putting metal wire in it.
On Wednesday, the technicians started to build the basic rover. It was important because the MFO team was going to put on the magnetic sensor. The MFO team started to build the magnetic sensor. The MFO team was finished with the magnetic sensor by the time the basic rover was finished. Then the MFO team looked for a spot to put the magnetic sensor. The MFO team put the magnetic sensor on the side of the CPU. Z.Berg, MFO

We started on the 8 inch robtics temrature probe arm. We have to make sure the arm is able to reach into the liquid with out getting the rover wet. We also haved to put a Ipod mount on the probe arm so that we can see what he is doing. We must make sure the arm is strong enough to take the landing. I am the head engineer of the IDep Team.

on wednesday the AOA team built 2 Touch Sensors and Ultra Sonic Sensors. Then the Programmer Programmed them into the computer for the Rover. T. Lindquist, AOA
On Thursday the EDL team worked on making the capsul for the Rover. We taped the sides of the cone that will be a heat sheild together and also had to think of a way to support the cone so the it is less flimsy and got the idea of placing a hula hoop in the cone.
During the block period our team accomplished most of what it needed to. We got to make sure that our IPod mount would fit to the size of the Rover and the structure. We did have some trouble at first having to move it around and take it off and put it back on. the great thing is that the IPod alll in all is attached and on and the Rover is sucessfull!

On Wednesday the EDL team worked on the heat shield so that the Rover doesnt burn up from friction when it enters the atmosphere. K. Laviola, EDL
