Tackling the main compartment was one of the most crucial part of the device, which we worked on & off throughout the whole design process, since it hold all of our electronic devices and sensors. We wanted everything to have a snug, not tight, fit so that it will be able to handle any motion be it abrupt or gentle and the parts will not collide with each other inside this compartment.
Screwing in the main compartment into the buoy, this is how it turns out. We also designed a tumbler sort of disk attached to the bottom of the main compartment to insert the sensors in and to ensure that it does not move around too much. The sensors will end up being extended past the main compartment into the protective barrier in the bottom (refer back to the main overview for a better idea).
After placing in the Arduino board and the batteries in their relative compartments, this is how it looks like. Everything fits! (YAAAS)
