Today we took our rover for a spin and measured distance and time just like in our last two posts, but this time we made it up to five steps! We also started to measure our acceleration too on the second step and fourth step. We had an awesome time!

Today we added two pictures of our logo onto each side of our box. Then we took our rover out for a spin! Our rover went pretty far! We finished the measurements of distance and speed for our fourth step; our rover did great!

Today we finished covering the inside of our box in aluminum foil and silver duct tape. Then we glued our alpha-particle x-ray spetometer into the center of our rover. We also took the flags the kindergardeners made and we glued them onto a skewer and stuck them in the box. After we took our rover for a spin down the ramp. We measured the speed and time it took our rover to roll to its farthest position at two steps. We had a great time!

Today we hot glued both of our washers as cameras onto tennis ball caps which we hot glued onto the rover. We also wraped our shovel in silver duct tape and aluminum foil to make it look more realistic then we stuck it into the side of our rover. We finally hot glued a chip (Alph-Particle X-ray Spectrometer) into the center of the rover. It was a good day!
