     Welcome to our blog that includes weekly (sometimes more) updates, pictures, background material and research, tutorials, biographies, and even an FAQs page! This blog is for Dr. Swoboda's engineering 103 lab section 84. This blog will contain information that will keep you updated on the progress of our project as well as some educational information that will help you understand what's behind it. In the given ten weeks, our goal is to prototype a device on a wetsuit and deploy an inflatable bladder when the person impacts with water. Our ultimate goal is to be able to actually test this in the Drexel pool!

     This project uses an Arduino, accelerometer, servo, motor shield, and a few other parts to function. With the deadline quickly approaching we are working our hardest to finish the prototype. You can keep up to date on the project by visiting the blog updates page. If you want a detailed description of the project visit the background material page, it includes a PowerPoint presentation given to Dr. Swoboda. Explore the different pages on this website, you might learn something new! Below is a collection of photographs taken while working on the project.  If you have any questions, comments, recommendations, or something nice to say please email one of the team members.
