Heat and popcorn-Week 2

   This week David and I redesigned the Aquino chassis to give it better air flow, so the Arduino doesn’t overheat. We put some holes to hold the fan in place at the top of the chassis; the fan will help keep the Arduino and motor controller cool and not overheat while in the incubator and cause damage. Then I made a little ramp apparatus to direct the airflow towards the electronics. We made it out of cardboard; it was easy to make but very messy. It smelt like popcorn because the cardboard was heating up while we were shaping it.
