September 6, 2008: The robot heads SOUTH!September 6, 2008: The robot heads SOUTH!

Today, the robot got packaged up for its long journey south! It will be going to Antarctica via cargo ship, so it has to get a "head start" on my travel time. If all goes as planned, we will reconnect in McMurdo! I am looking forward to swimming together under the ice! It will be great fun to test the robot in the frigid waters; do you think it will work?

My fingers are crossed!
