It has been over a month since the last entry, but the lack of updates does not denote a lack of progress. Today was the first successful dive of Tortuga 2, which is the full integration of our 2008 AUVSI competition electronics and hardware. The dive operations quickly showed the utility of the new landing gear and the added ease of use the new hardware provides. In addition to that we also got our sonar system to successfully determine the location of a full set of pings.
