MAVRIC Update

Nothing too big, we had the M2I Kickoff on Tuesday, so hopefully we will be getting some new members coming in. We have several returning members (almost all of the electrical team came back, and most of mechanical). Unfortunately, we took a pretty big hit on science – the team responsible for the soil analysis and scientific presentation. We have 1-2 returning members. If anyone has experience/interest or contacts with experience/interest in soil analysis (focusing on factors that indicate the possibility of life) please contact me.

That’s about it for now, I hope to post more photos and videos eventually. We can’t do test dives right now because the key (a little part that forces the motor shaft and the wheel to rotate together) is missing, and an Allen wrench broke off in a screw. We should have that fixed quickly once the machining lab is open next week.

So, it’s been a while…

I haven’t posted in about a year now. I’m still not really back. I’ve been pouring my time into a Mars rover project that I will be a part of for another year. As the project goes on (we go to competition next summer) I may post things here, I will try to tag them with ‘MAVRIC’ to keep them straight.

My apologies for the very long silence and the lack of asynchronous logic content. I’ll be getting back to it eventually (or that’s the plan). Thanks for bearing with me.
