Our Raspberry Pi module arrived! After assembling and and screwing parts in, the little computer was booted up and running! The next thing we need to do is to control the potential water jets through the Pi system.
Then, we activated the SIM card and also learnt about Singapore’s tourist attractions — and that Lau Pa Sat is pronounced with emphasis on the ‘a’ in Sat such that it sounds more like 老芭莎 instead of ‘sat’ like past tense of ‘sit’.
After toggling a lot more with Blue Iris, we finally figured out how to activate and access the night vision on the Amcrest camera! Testing by putting it in the bag, we obtained black and white footages! One step down, and it was a euphoric rare feeling of productivity.
We also started to think about waterproofing and designing the boat in better detail. Taking inspiration from catamaran and PVC boats, we came up with 2 tentative designs:

We also crafted a more detailed outline of our project and split the agenda into software and hardware for better organization. If curious, here is our Timetable and Agenda Document!
Previously, Zheng Xun was able to get a massive storage box, and so this time we had a home for all our gadgets.
Snug underneath the cabinets in the MnT lab, we left with a group photo with Tony, and called it a day.
