Wednesday I helped take apart the first robot that we built last year. I took apart mainly the most fragile components which were mostly electrical and mechanical. After that when the construction workshop for new members started I helped by teaching the new members how to use the tools such as wrenches, screwdrivers, allen wrenches and others. I worked for about an hour taking apart the main frame and structure of the old robot. After that I helped the new members clean the robot room.
Today, Thursday I noticed that I was the only person to write in the AUV activity sheet during a gap of almost 4 weeks of inactivity.
In the morning Mr. Lajvardi, Martin and me tested the toypedo that Martin and company built. After that we got to the conclusion that the fins may bend because of the applied water pressure and speed that builds up while traveling at a fast speed. This caused the toypedo go down instead of going forward.
Minutes later I started to make a jig that will help us make our own fins. I had to cut some pieces of 1/4 fiber glass c channel (3 1/2 x 3 1/2). With this square pieces I glued them one on top of each other with epoxy to make a cube piece of fiber glass, this will be the main part to make the jig for the fins.
After school I helped host the mechanical/building/construction workshop. Todays lesson was how to use the hacksaw efficiently but at the same time fast. At the beginning I was counting the time people took to cut a 1/4 thick, one and half angle of fiber glass. After that I supervised the new members by watching if they were doing the right thing. The last Friday I found a broom broke. I fixed it and today after the workshop I carved, with the mill, mine name on it because I fixed it.
Facts: over 5,100 words written on blog and more 27,000 characters typed. I expect to reach 10000 words by January.
