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.
