Planning the entire system has been underway, but we have waited on getting the lab in place to start working through the process.
Our goal is to make a solar powered sailboat, that uses the SWARM network to send data and location information and also send cloud based control messaging.
Today was the day in the lab where we finally started to cut the pieces of hull material. Using a hot knife and working to keep cuts as clean as possible. There has to be a better way than a hot knife, but this will be our first prototype.
We began laying out the hull and trying to understand how the sail might mount.

More work needs to be done on these hulls including connecting them together and adding the necessary keel, mast, control and rudder systems.
