Week Six

This week, the team met to test the buoyancy of the boat. We discovered that using a flat bottomed boat was a good choice. We tested how much weight the boat could bear with boxes of Macaroni and Cheese, and the boat withheld 6 boxes, and only sunk about an inch. We did notice that the sealant that we used to coat the boat was re-hydrating and letting water in. We are in the process of finding a more reliable sealant that is not water-based.

We divided the final proposal report between the three of us and each individually completed out parts.
