I unfortunately wont be able to get my entry back together, the origional
was about 80% finished when there was a littl incident, the shelving unit
it was on collapsed, crushing it, two of my photovores, and several hundred
dollars woth of equipment (mental note, don't buy those cheap metal
shelving units from wal-mart), needless to say I wasn't impressed.
Anyways, with summer full on I won't have time to finish up now :(
Just in case anyone is interested, I had built a bicore controlled
submarine which swimmed?? (not sure on the spelling) using fins and steered
by moving very much more like a fish than a machine, I had the movement the
way I wanted it, but never really got to pool test it cause I never got the
skin done.
Anyways, good luck to those who do get done!
