Jim and I edited the drive code to try and get data to the datalogger, but still could not get it to work. We believe our code is correct but there is some timing issue somewhere that we cannot seem to figure out as the as it is done exactly the same as the power code and the datalogger gets that information. We are stumped for the moment, so we decided to take the air sampler we have for a test run around the taxiway with all 5 panels hooked up. We also test towed a sled the contains about 250lbs of radar to see if the Cool Robot could even pull it, which it managed to do although a bit scary to test as the robot only weighs about 150lbs. Lets just say we will not be towing it autonomously! This evening we gave a talk to the crew members about what we are doing and why. Afterwards we gave a short autonomous demo with CR towing the air sampler. It was also a test to see how the robot does sitting in the sun for awhile while we prepared and gave the talk.
