NURC 2011 – It is here!
Thu, 09 Jun 2011Welcome to NURC 2011. We have been working non-stop on our rov since we got out of school on June 1st. To fix the problems we encountered last year we have added two 12 volt 18 amp hour batteries externally to be used as part of our ballast. It is the night before and we are still working on our neutral buoyancy. Come see the competition at Chandler High School this Saturday at 8:00 pm.
