Friday March 30th

Day before trial #1
Threat level: imminent
Morale: ecstatic, nervous
Rations: meager

With the trial only a few hours away we realized that the trial wasn't all that far away and that we needed to try some of our theoretical ideas out. We wanted to go into the trial with something tangible to test we got working. By the end of the evening we had an cannibalized old remote control front loader with strips of velcro attached to the fron wheels. We chose to take off the back wheels to make the device's ascent over the edge of the cliff easier. We didn't have anything to slow the fall or protect the device yet but we were happy that we at least had something to test at the trial the next day.
