Figure 11 Propeller attached to a Lego piece4.5 Testing AreaThe 125 gallon aquarium that houses the AUV course sits inside a spill basin. The basin isdesigned to catch the water if the aquarium ever leaks or breaks. The basin is about 7 feet wideand 8 feet long. Its structure was constructed out of wooden 2-by-4’s and covered by two layersof 45mil thick pond liner. If the aquarium ever breaks and the basin floods with water, a sumppump will be used to pump the water out of the basin and into the sink located next to theaquarium. There is a
