Today we tried to to work on the operation fix it challenge with a coat hanger but it failed. We will have to try and find a better way to fix the problem.

Today we worked on operation fix it and managed to engineer a way to cap the valve. We made many fish hooks out of a hanger and fishing string. We able to cap the valve today due to these fish hooks it just takes a lot of work to control the ROV in a way to pick it up.
