Day 59 - Test runs ?

Hello Amethyst here! Today was a pretty intense day due to the fact we did so many test runs.. Me and Alex would set up and run the rover, and also Marshal and Gilbert worked on the controls and fixing the problems with the mission. In the middle of the one of the runs, I somehow forgot to put the module in... Which was super embarrassing and just super sad. We also figured out many flaws with the program, and tried to fix them. For example, in one of the missions the rover never came back to base which was a really bad problem during our run, so we had to run out and bring it back. The programmers fixed this problem, so the rover comes back to base, which was a good thing because it was super tiring running and dragging the rover back. During the run our goal was to finish a couple missions like, module, extraction, space travel, and solar panel array. We did accomplish some of these missions, but always somehow failed module, which was pretty stressful. Tomorrow we will, for sure, try to perfect our programs, and make sure to have one "successful" run. Talk to you guys later, peace! -Amethyst
