Recovery Systems

Today I worked with Thalia and Emma M. we were trying to make a parachute that could fall at the lowest speed possible. At first we tried to make the strings longer but that didn't work. After that we tried making the string shorter, I'm pretty sure that the balloon fell at the same speed that time too. We tried to make a bigger parachute but didn't have the materials. I have a feeling that if we would have used a blow dryer the whole thing would have worked. With real life parachutes the person doesn't even open up the parachute until after falling for a bit, they do this because the impact of the air from both up and down makes you fall slower I think if we used the blow dryer to create that force it would have worked.

Remote Repairs

Today I worked in a group with Le'Jayah and Emma. It took us a long time to be able to get online and talk to eachother and in the end Le'Jayah wasn't even to get on the talk browser. During the time we were given we weren't able to complete the Robot things because of the chat problems. I think that if the computer was working we would have been able to do more,but it was a good thing to be able to learn and I realized there are going to be problems along the way but irs normal and you just have to deal with the problems.
