Competition is only 40 days away. We are very excited, currently making all of our final travel arrangements. Can't wait for Virginia Beach!

We are opening up the sale of T-shirts to the public this year. Send an email to milyhow@umich.edu if would like one. Please include what size you would like, as well as an address for us to mail your shirt. Cost: $10 See the attached photo for what the shirts will look like!

We tested for the first time at Gallup Park yesterday. It was very cold and windy but a great success. Check out the pictures and videos on our team Smugmug.  http://umautonomy.smugmug.com/Other/2012-2013/25356641_Lrt3xp#!i=2085490425&k=KQRBdgb. 

Congratulations to our new officers for next year.

At our meeting on Tuesday the team voted and our boat has been named Eve! Right now we are working on designs for a dart firing mechanism for the "Shoot the Hoop" challenge as well as an amphibious vehicle for the "Catch the Ball" challenge. We hope to have all of the design work done by the time we get back from spring break. 

Check out our new paint job! 1 hulls down, one to go...

As promised, here is a link to the video of the first time we drove our boat. 

Testing today was a great success! The boat floats great and is very stable. We were only able to connect 2 thrusters at a time (instead of all 4) but we were able to do some great doughnuts and achieve lateral motion! :) Couldn't have asked for better. We are planning on returning next Friday with all 4 thrusters working and try to get some real driving in. Pictures and videos will be posted by tomorrow.

We will be doing our first testing of the year in the Marine Hydrodynamics Lab on Friday from 12-4:30!

We will be holding 2 Mass Meetings this semester.
