September 6, 2008: The robot heads SOUTH!
Submitted by Robin Ellwood on September 6, 2008 - 10:58am.
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!
SCUBADOOBA DOO gets some padding for the long journey!
All packed up....
And ready to go!
Next Stop for SCUBADOOBA DOO: Antarctica!
SAFE JOURNEY!
