Over Monday and Tuesday, we went into it with a newfound vigor. Every single group was able to get their robot's manual mode working and some were able to get data functioning. With this crucial milestone achieved, each group was working on improving their robot. Some worked to make their robot modular and well organized whilst others mounted a water cannon to theirs.  Every team prepared an advanced autonomous system along with adding more data, such as dissolved solids, ReDox potential, and many others to help as acquire advanced data.

After a long month at COSMOS, today was the final lake test at Miramar Reservoir. Armed with new sensors (dissolved oxygen, turbidity,  total dissolved solids, and redox) and a functional autonomous, teams were able to measure and collect data from the water. In the meantime, students also enjoyed time working together on the double-kayak (provided by Dr. Silberman) to collect stray body boards and relax on the lake. By the end of the day, Cluster 7 logged their final bits of data to analyze and present on their final presentation. Wish us luck!

Shiloh fell into lake + :( + no rizz + gg + so sad.

Today was the final full day of Cluster 7. To begin preparing for next year, students began disassembling their robots (with the exception of Team 5 to present as an example vessel for future COSMOS attendees) and finalized their presentations. Meanwhile, others began analyzing their data to find correlations between pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and more. In the end, Cluster 7 was truly an experience of all time.
