Remote Repairs Lab

Today Meena, Lena and I did Remote repairs. It would have been better with more time, but we got two things built. Meena had two things that she told me how to make. Unfortunately, Lena and I didn't get very far on her piece because we ran out of time and she was missing a piece. But, Meena's piece looked just like what I made, so our communication was good!!

This relates to the robotics key point because we had to do everything in small parts, like telling the person the color, then the size and shape and then where it went and how it was connected. Then we moved to the next piece.

We will need these communication skills in order to communicate with ground control if something goes wrong with our spaceship on M2M. We need to be able to be able to describe with size, shape, color and location so that we can get the help we need to fix it or vice versa.
