Title: Communication means and ways.
At the last Team summit, the issue of communication came up again, and it was emphasized that a significant part of the GLXP competition is to communicate about what we are doing, participating in the online life and generate output for the various media.
Two main channels are mandatory:
1. YouTupe, through regular video output from the Teams
2. GLXP Blog, through weekly blogging.
Other channels are of course considered and recommended, like twitter and Facebook.

January 29, 2010 - by Robot arm fashions camera mold
The Astrobotic team at Carnegie Mellon University brought a new computer-controlled robot arm into operation this week by loading up CAD files of the camera unit that will ride atop the mast at the rover's center. The arm carved away foam to create a mold to be used for carbon composite layups to create the framework that will hold two wide-field HD cameras for 3D imagery plus a telephoto zoom HD camera.
In the photo, the mold is approximately 18 inches long and five inches tall.
