This week more circuitry had to be wired and tested. Hang completed his voltage regulation board and we tested two thrusters for proper performance. The circuits outputted the proper voltage needed to run the arduino board. It was established that one of the arduino boards had also failed during the hardware demo. The two new motor drivers were also placed on the electronics rack awaiting final wiring and testing.
The 3 colored buoys were purchased from a local marine store to optimize the obstacle course. The buoys are the same color and size as competition specs. Homemade anchors were constructed with buckets, I-bolts, and concrete. Buckets were used for safety to the pool liner when practicing and concrete due to its high density and low cost. The path segments are flat pvc boards purchased from a local hardware store. Each part of the course will be joined in the upcoming weeks for computer vision testing.
