Part of the fanned survey we did yesterday, for the air sampler, ran through the night. After collecting the data we discovered that the robot was stopped between midnight and 2am but did start back up on its own! Just not at a point we would expected it too, but still happy it could restart after charging the batteries for awhile. After the Cool Robot finish that survey this morning Jim and Alden did some more grid surveys with both GPR units. The CR pulling the smaller of the two and Alden pulling the big one behind a snowmobile following the same path as the CR. I went out for a little while to help out and take pictures.

As for the coding we decide it would be best to only fix a couple of things at a time after yesterday's episode. So only fixing the logic error I found two night ago in the drive code we have load that up and the robot was running fine. Now we are again sending it on night mission doing the same fan survey we did last night but this time the robot should able to slow down instead of just stopping when the power is low.
