Making Bigger Waves

We spent time discussing the design and mock-up of our vehicle. How were we going to retrieve twenty C-Probes? What could we use to accomplish this task? We talked about using a prong or a manipulator but came up with the brilliant idea of using an underwater vacuum! With a vacuum we can quickly retrieve each object. If we used a prong or manipulator, the retrieval work would be slow and tedious.
    We also tossed around the idea of creating a web site. (Virginia decided to take on this part of the project.) Finally, we worked on the metal lathe, turning a couple of thruster nozzles.
