Cool Robot in Greenland 2013

The Cool Robot is a solar power, autonomous robot that was developed by a team of students at Dartmouth Thayer School in conjunction with Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL). In 2005 the Cool Robot was tested at Greenland Summit. The last two years have been spent in implementing the robot and redesigning its solar panel box. Now it is time to test Cool Robot and its improvement as it makes it way back to Greenland for its 2nd visit.

Last Day at Summit

Well with the robot all packed up there was not a whole lot to do today. We all just mostly just relaxed and took it easy. Some looking at data, some working on reports, and some just doing nothing. It was a nice day! A plane was suppose to land today and dropping off a couple people and supplies but it was to windy to land and after seeing it circle three time it went back to Kangerlussuaq. Tomorrow were are suppose to leave for Kangerlussuaq and hopefully there will be no problems with that plane landing and taking off. As our last day at Summit here is a nice picture of the Cool Robot in front of the Summit sign.
