Getting MEAM-y

Still struggling with Bluetooth and the gyro. Progress was made and we're almost there, but not quite yet. We laser cut the bases for both of our paddles out of 1/8" light blue acrylic and they turned out great today!

I even swum 1k with them during practice today and they felt just like normal swimming paddles.

We ran into one unexpected problem today: the total area of all of our parts exceeds the total area available on our paddle by about 2.3 square inches. We're going to have to get creative when we lay out everything inside the shield. To be continued...
