Test #2 Results

Thank you to everyone who helped support the second underwater test. We were able to adjust the fine tuning of the ballast system and we accomplished neutral buoyancy which was our goal. Unfortunately, we forgot the cable that connects the batteries for the full 24 volts, so we'll have to wait to test the motor's full capability. We'll be posting more info on the results and where to go from here. Below are some pics from the test (photos by Robert Burns----thank you!).
