First mock-up and feasibility tests


- Session summary:
Feasibility tests with a first cardboard model.

- What we did:
We made a first model to test whether the motors could be integrated and whether access to the components was easy.
We also assessed potential buoyancy and began to consider the assembly of the wooden structure.
Testing different motors and placing components.

- Results / Progress :
The chosen size seems to be suitable. Components can be integrated, buoyancy seems manageable.

- What we need to do:
Start numerically modeling the components and their layout.

- What we'll do next:
Run CAD modeling (Autodesk Fusion) and refine the internal layout.
