The Design Team conducted various test on the Arduino board to see if the water sensor responded efficiently to being wet. By running the program the group noticed that as the sensor was immersed more and more by water the values started to increase. In order to assure that the mechanism does not activate at a low water level the sensor needs to be placed on a section of the car where if the water level were to surpass it there would be serious damage to the car.

The team also found the model car that they decided to test their mechanism on. A frame will be created on CREO and printed out through a 3-D printer. Because the RC car has a smooth surface the frame will have to be glued on as it would be difficult to find connecting points without obstructing the frame. The car is to give the observer a visual representation of how the mechanism would work in a real life scenario.
