The team met up again today in class and attempted to mount the assembly on the ROV and we encountered a problem. The JB Weld seal broke, so we consulted our shop technician and he told us that the surface was too smooth to create a good-enough grip. To fix it, we should sand the surface down, to create a more tactile connection between the two pieces. The logic makes sense, but we need another day to prepare, conduct, and have the unit dry. Sadly we are testing today, and it is inconvenient that the unit cannot be installed on the ROV for the time of testing; it would have been nice to see it’s affects on the ROV. We’ll have to have it all prepared and working in another test before the next one is conducted in front of the professors on March 7th.
