23rd Stop: Solar Boat-prototype

Although we're a little late compared to the other schools, but we still managed to build our first prototype to test is out today. At first we were having trouble with the wiring system, but thanks to Avinash who helped us out to figure out the different terminals. Then sticking all the parts with UHU glue wasn't easy also. So we decided to add some double-sided tape. We tested it at a mini pond in our school's hostel. It went well, our fear of it sinking did not happen, but there's sure some improvements we can make.

Fixing the motor

It didn't sink, which was pleasing!

Solar panels, No. 1 priority, needs to be secured with borders

Yeahh, the power of solar energy!
Its floating perfectly fine
