Week Four: In Over View

In week four, the group began the construction of the original design of the SeaPerch. By lab, the chassis of the SeaPerch was built, and the only thing that needed to be added were the motors and propellers. The goal was to have the SeaPerch finished and timed by the end of this week, and utilizing the lab period allowed the group to come closer to this goal. Since the SeaPerch is far along in construction, the group volunteered to bring the SeaPerch to Clark Park on Sunday, April 29th, to show children how it moves under water. This pressured the group to complete the goal of finishing the construction of the original SeaPerch design in week four, and helps the group stay on track.
