We have some water proof motors ready to put in the sub.

5 of the motors work really well and 1 takes about double the current of the other 5 to get going.

I’ll get the last motor done next week or so and tested so we can use it as a primary and keep the weaker motor as backup.

We had guest journalist Fernando Yates from the San Diego City College Times pop in and check out our weekly Saturday meeting a few weeks back, and it looks like his article is currently published in their online edition. We are very excited about the featured write up! Check it out here!

“Not many students would choose to have class on Fridays. Less still would choose to have class on Saturdays. The students that make up San Diego City Robotics choose to have class on Saturdays, and in class they build a robot.

San Diego City Robotics is linked to Engineering 50 in the catalog and has the goal of designing and building a functioning automated submarine to compete in the Navy’s international Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Competition. Since 2007, the class has done just that.”
