Week Eight A

The week began with creating a better string mechanism for pulling out the syringe plunger. Originally, the fishing line was just wound around the post of a spinning motor. Ben drilled a hole in a metal piece that makes the attachment of the fishing line to the motor more smooth and finished. We also worked on the control box, switches, and motor; trying to determine the best method of utilizing the battery to power both the propeller motors and the string attachment motor.
