  2. I am on the Magnetic Field Orientation Team for Group B. On Friday, my team worked on ways to attach the magnetic sensor to the rover. We decided that we would make an arm off of the rover, long enough so that the magnets in the CPU and the motors would not affect the sensor's ability to orient the rover North.

  3. Today we started the main designs of the rover so that it can follow it's course. For example, we are going to attach a light sensor just above the bottom of the wheel so that it will follow curiosity's path.

  4. For the MFO team on Friday we talked about how we are going to put on Magnetic Sensor. We had a problem with the arm because the CPU has magnetics in it. We need to make sure the sensors ability to go north. F.Colosi MFO

  5. On Friday the AOA team talked about how many touch sensors, and ultra sonic sensor, and where the light sensor should go on the rover.Then we had to draw it on a large paper along with the other groups.

  6. On Friday, we met with our EDL group and we talked about how we wanted our rover to land. We chose a parachute, a heat sheild, and a skycrane to lower our rover down to the surface.

  7. On Friday, my group and I talked about what type of landing technique and decided the Sky Crane. After that we had to describe how the Rover landed. While doing that we had to make images of the Sky Crane, and practice how to present it on Monday.

  8. On the CorNav team, we decided on attaching a wheel onto the light sensor. We did this so that the sensor doesn't drag on the ground. This way, it is also steady and the shadow from the light sensor doesn't get in the way of the path it is suppossed to take. E.Peterson, CorNav

  9. I am on the A.O.A. (Autonomous Obstacle Avoidance) team for Group B. On Friday we talked about where we should put the Ultra Sonic, and Touch Sensors on the Rover. We have finally decided that we will attempt to put two Touch Sensors on the front and the back. As well as one Ultra Sonic on the front and back. We will have updates on this if anything changes.

  10. I am on the CorNav Team for Group B. On Friday, my team worked on ways to attach the light sensor to the rover. We decided that we would attach a wheel to the small arm hanging off the rover to keep the light sensor steady and remain at a certain height.

  11. I am on the IDep team.On Friday, my team worked on the laser. We had to design the mount and the laser. We also had to incorperate a ipod mount with the laser so we can see how the laser works on mars. M.Sicilia,IDep

  12. I am on the IDEP team. On friday our team worked on a laser that we were supposed to design along with the mount it will be on so it can drill into rock.

  15. On Friday the MFO team were working on where we should put the magnetic sensor. The reason is because the magnetic sensor has to be a few feet away from the cpu otherwise the other magnets will mess up the magnetic sensor. That will make it so that it can't oreant itself North. Z.Berg, MFO

  18. I am on the EDL team. On Friday we split up with our teams and came up with a presentation for Monday morning meeting. The EDL team decided we would use the Skycrane for our landing enclosure, and we gave a step by step drawing for how the enclosure would work.

  20. I am M. Hamilton and I am on IDEP team. On friday our team was working on the rover and the part that we were working on was the laser. the laser is used to drill into rock and get the samples out for what we need.

  21. I am on the VCom team for group B. On Friday, my team and I worked with the IDep team and we shared our ideas for the rover. Then, we used a large piece of paper and everyone drew their ideas of a perfect rover for their specific job. My group and I made a really stable ipod mount that would record everything that is needed for the rover.

  23. On friday, we was working on a poster seprated by team sections. As a VCom, we had to work with the Idep to share our ideas together. For the VCom group, we had drew a ipod on the laser to record it.

  24. On Friday, the MFO team was working on where we should put the magnetic sensor. The magnetic sensor has to be a few feet away from the CPU, otherwise the other magnets will mess up the magnetic sensor. To not mess up the magnetic sensor, it will be attached to an arm and the arm will be attached to the CPU, only the arm will be a few feet away so that the magnetic sensor will not be messed up.

  25. On Friday the AOA team for group B,talked about how much Touch Sensor and Ultra Sonic Sensors that will be on the rover. We decided that the AOA team will attempt to put 1 Touch Sensor on the front and back and 1 Ultra Sonic Sensor on the front and back. We shall have updates if anything changes.
