Supply Run

Laurel and I made the first supply run for the SS Ducky yesterday. It was a resounding success!

Highlights:
1. Submersible submarine motors we can use to turn the duck
2. Beefy computer fans we can use to propel the duck
3. A bilge pump that shoots water at 600 GPH, plus the necessary connections
4. A pair of DK bongos we can hack to prototype the helm

5. 2 accessory ducks for flotation
6. Microphone
7. Various PS2 and PSP games which have been placed under lock and key until "we make it through this"
8. Various waterproofing means (silicone adhesive, silicone tape, liquid electrical tape)

Late night testing reveals that the submarine motors, fans, and bilge pumps all function satisfactorily at 12-14 V. Sweet.
