AquaLoco: Week 8 Updates

KTLUU1 2016-2017 Efficiency of Aquatic Locomotion Using Flippers

This past week, Bon Kim and Damian Torres met up with the 3D printing club to print a prototype of the fins (pictured). However, there were technical difficulties when they tried to print one of their designs, which includes hinges in between part of the fin to make it flexible.

 I worked on the poster for our presentation at the Winter Design Review on Friday, March 10 and Alex modified some information on it. We are very excited to showcase our progress to our peers, alumni, faculties, and engineering industry professionals. 

For this week, we plan to print more fin designs to test out, and finish epoxying our tank. We also plan to put in the PVC pipes at the corners of the tank.
