Today we set up our blog website! Very exciting, I know. I'm gonna go help the rest of my team because they need help. As the Blogging Guru, that's my job.

Today I lead my time on the adventure of blog creation. We customized our blog and created some cool new pages! Check out the What is an ROV page and The Challenges page. And since I'm Blogging Guru/Goddess of all Technology, I'm going to link those pages! Crazy! Try clicking on those links up there!
I got to know the other members of my team and we really bonded. I feel like we have a real connection now. We all have crazy titles now! Nice!

So today we had our interview with Ms S about ROVs. We passed! Yay! Now we can make our ROV, which is good, because if we couldn't, we would fail this project. We assigned everyone roles in building our little ROV. I'm on soldering. I watched some videos on it and got to practice, and I'll get to practice more later. But by the end of Friday, I'm going to have to finish soldering the control board. Oh boy.

So I'm on Daily Post for today so for more info check that out! But I did some soldering practice, then actually started soldering. It's a lot of work and I'm not very good at it yet, and I don't want to mess up. Tomorrow it needs to be done. But no stress or anything.

Oooh boy what a day. Got a lot of work done. So first off, I finished soldering. Wasn't expecting that! It was very confusing but luckily I'm pretty smart. And then it all worked! Which was a nice surprise because i didn't think it would work. Then I had to screw the box together. At first I had no idea how to but I figured it out. Next class we will be testing everything in the pool so hope it works!

Her name is Marsha. She is my child. We tested her out in the small pool today and she is wonderful. Well, she doesn't really like to go down, but we can work up to that. We just have to cut off more of the beautiful bright orange pool noodles that are keeping her afloat. We are thinking of using a coat hanger somehow to complete the tasks. I'll let you know how it goes!

Marsha's coming along nicely. We think we know why she wasn't wanting to go down. We think the problem was that the little fan was slipping off of the shaft of the propeller. Then we started working with the fishing camera to try to get that to work. We think it'll be good. Who knows! Not us!

We are literally the best team. We were the ones to figure out how to get the camera to work and so we could navigate the pool by using that. We got like 3 Schwaroctopuses. Schwaroctopi. Schwaroctopodes. Well, three of them, anyways. We were also able to catch the oil stopper thing. Cool. Tessa out
very impressive!
