Well, the robot field trials I mention in my last report took place as planned. While we tested the robot in warm water and that was great, the schedule was grueling with long days and 3 or more simultaneous experiments taking place most of the time. Especially amazing was the fact that pretty much of the experiments produced successful results. There were a couple of mishaps, including at least one serious one, but that's par for the course. If all of the experiments work and nobody gets hurt, then that's a (very) successful field trip, even if some gear (inevitably) gets fried.
When you are doing field robotics, and especially robotics on the open water, some equipment damage it pretty much inevitable, especially when people are working under (extreme) pressure.
