Today we got the pleasure of working with Mr. Dr. Stonedahl. He helped us with some coding/computer problems. We also took apart the middle divider on the antfarm (the old sand vessel) because it did not silicone properly in place. We cleaned Flossy(the new sand vessel) and put some more silicone on the bottom part of the middle divide because it seemed to be loose. We were also able to find a way to hold the pumps on flossy with out them moving. To solve the siphoning problem we took a 2 inch piece of PVC pipe to have the pump flow into. We also cut four small holes in the bottom to try and let the water out at the botton in a controlled way constant speed and wont allow disturbance in the water. We also improved the safety of flossy by duct-taping all of the sharp edges. We also made a new divide for the antfarm so we can hopefully get it working soon.

Dr. Forrest Stonedahl didn't help us with our code. The code works exactly as expected. He helped us succeed at getting more machines able to work with our Arduino.
