We got over our failures of last week, and were given the week to complete the task. This significantly changed the dynamic of the project and the attitude of the team. This project just got a lot bigger. Now, instead of working for three hours with a group of people we didn't know, with work ethics and perspective unfamiliar to us, we would now have to coordinate between six people's schedules and lives! As if that is not a complicated enough project on its own.
We met a number of times through the week, working out the code, the construction, and how they function together. We decided to go a bit more in depth with the project, and actually give our machine a name and history. We named our solar tracker Phaeton, after the son of Apollo, and a chariot of the sun.
Working on a longer project throughout the week has been a bit difficult just due to problems scheduling 6 different people's busy lives, however, we emailed often and left notes, pictures, and messages constantly.
