Yesterday, we took delivery of our gear to our lab space in the Crary Lab building. Today, we've been checking basic system functions on the Sunfish robot and preparing for deployment. Our gear seems to have survived the shipping process very nicely, although Chris did have to re-crimp one power connector... not bad.

Ask Bill about the fiber termination debacle of '09.
