Today, among other things we worked on making the vertical part of the tail. To make the vertical part of the taiI I made a file for the the vertical part of the tail in rhino (a 3d modeling program) and saved it as a dxf.  A dxf file is a type of file that the laser printer and other CAD systems can read.I then precisely cut the tail out in foam board using clifford (our laser cutter's name.) Louie and Alex then wired it and connected it to a servo which is wirelessly controlled by a remote controler.
