Day 70 -Mission Solution and Runs

Hey space cadets! I'm back! For those of you who don't know me I'm Astro!  Today was kind of a mellow day for us.  We finally found a solution to those super uncomfortable space gloves which is good for me, because this way when I go on my space walks I can use the tools more efficiently and less painfully!  We found out that the problem is more in the bladder so we decided to try and fix that.  The bladder makes the glove super uncomfortable, because of the uneven pressure which can also cause us astronauts to lose our fingernails, and can develop diseases. So we decided on going with something that can help move and even out the pressure a little bit.  We decided to make a "second skin", and this second skin will sort of be made out of two layers, the first is sort of made out of material that's skin tight, but stretchy like a doctors glove, and the second layer will be made out of some material that can expand and contracts, like one of those expanding and contracting balls with the complicated plastic structure.  Using this the material will expand or contract as your moving your joints, and when it expands it presses against the bladder forcing the pressure to spread out, so that it becomes more even around your hands.  As we worked on our solution we also worked on our robot.   We ran multiple runs and scoring with the highest 132 points.  We added a new mission called 3D printing and so that adds 18 points onto our runs.  So if we ever get a clean perfect run the most we can is 148 points.  Our goal is to get to 150-170 points by this Saturday so we can roll into our practice competition with a 150-170 point run.  Which reminds me! Practice competition is in 2 weeks! I'm super nervous! But I know we'll do a good job at the event!  Even if we don't it's okay, we still got our Qualifiers event, and hopefully our Regionals! Anyways I need to leave you at this so I can go back to my astronaut duties! I hope to see you space cadets very soon! Astro out!
