Guest Appearances:
Today Caleb made more progress on the program, writing the code so that it will compare four windows centered on the midpoint between the center of the cell and each corner. He has also continued working on finding an improved method to detect the blue cells in the Physical model timelapse pictures.
Nicole continued to take more data from the falling head permeameter and the Nicole permeameter. We noticed that the Nicole permeameter's sand level was dropping a lot between data collection of heads A and B. Luckily, it was still above the head difference so we could continue collecting data today. Nicole also worked on the SRI official blog as well as the presentation.
At today's official SRI lunch we met the donor that makes all of this research possible. We again discussed the progress of our research.

After lunch we worked on ways to dry out the sand. We made a trip to Walmart and Menards to buy heat lamps and aluminum containers to help us dry out the sand. Fingers crossed that it works.
To do:
Pick up permeameter from post office
Continue drying out sand
Take more data points
Work on presentation
See Racing into Engineering race
Defeat the faculty in volleyball
Continue working on the method of determining if the cell is blue
