    Today we started out class going over some minor details for all of our projects. Later, we split off into our independent groups. Dr. Bill helped us organize the motor control kit and helped us get it started. We first just connected the whole kit to the car battery to make sure everything was working. Once we knew everything worked, we hooked up two water proof cameras to the axis(?), which was a machine that uploaded what the camera was seeing directly on to the internet. By doing this, we can hook the cameras up to the iBoat, one above the motor and one underwater, and we'll be able to see what's going on above and below the surface. These kind of cameras (maybe not water proof) are the kinds of cameras we hope to integrate into out RFID security system.
