This week’s progress
This week we were able to successfully integrate 1 motor pump into the body of the jellyfish. We desired the mold to allow for 3 motor pumps to be attached, one on each tentacle of the jellyfish. However, during the bonding process, 2 of the air channels from the motor pump to the tentacles got covered in silicone and accidentally sealed. Therefore, we were only able to test the actuation with a motor pump with one tentacle. However, we did some post-processing to attempt to fix the 2 sealed tentacles, which will hopefully bond and we can test them tomorrow. A notable success this week was the ability to demold the jellyfish without breaking the bottom piece of the 2 piece mold.
