Jim went out with Alden this morning to collect some GPS points and help Alden with finding a drainage channel in the snow by digging a pit and then running over it with the GPR to see if they can see using that device. Mean while Ben continued to test the boost converters and I siliconed in the honeycomb gaps in the robot chassis. Smelly and messy stuff!

In the afternoon Jim and I tested a side and top solar panel to find the power curve of each. It was really a nice day for doing such a test with the panels getting about 1200-1300 W/m^2 of solar irradiance.

This evening I finished tapping the edges of the robot chassis lid so the robot chassis make over is now done and it is ready to go as soon as we are ready with the solar power.
