  CAD drawing by: John Rangel, Dillon Dayea and Carlos Ruvio                                        

                  In the last day I been trying to find the bouyancy of the next robot. But I can not find the real calculation. As of right now I am practicing and learning how to find the if the old robot is negative, positive, or neutral. I also asked Jonh for help to check if the measurements were wrong since he was the main author of the CAD models. He found some errors but still the calculations show that the robot weights 121 pounds which is not right. Today I am going to contact or ask Steve for help. Now I asked Steve and the way I am trying to find the calculations is right. I am still off by 10%. I did a more detailed CAD drawing were I added the weights, modified-ed the fiber glass which was off, added the compass and its tail, and I also changed a little the trusters look. The result of the new cad drawing showed that the robot will display 121lb of water. This friday I attended the Friday meeting. After school I went to the south parking lot to get the ice chest. Now I am going to help Martin with the sound triangulation project. I already started to look what the components are and how they work.One day in the week I was explaining a new member of the team things about the CAD software Autodesk Inventor and I gave him a very basic tutorial. I also told him things about what we do on the team.
