OtterBox Test

Here is a snap shot of the pole used to test the depth of the pool.

After the pole was dipped in the water, water traces were left on the pole which was used to determine the approximate depth of the pool. Also, a black line was edited to mark its location of water mark.



In this picture, the same black line drawn from the previous picture shows the approximate depth the Otterbox will sit throughout the day. The measuring tool used is a Stanley, 25' Measuring Tape in the precision of inches. As you can see, the depth is between 103 to 104 inches.





Here is the team's new Otter Box 2.0. Never used and going to sink into the bottom of the pool to test for water leakage penetrating into the Otterbox before attaching connectors. The box will be tied to a long pole which will sit with the Otterbox and also be used to pull it back up.


To test for leakage, a handful of cotton balls are stuffed inside and placed at the base of the otter box with two 1-kg masses inside to sink the Otterbox.

Here is slight side view of the box as it is placed at the bottom of the pool.

Frontal view of the box as it sets at the bottom of the pool.

Here is a closeup of the box as it sits for the next 12-14 hours. This shot was taken approximately 10 minutes after it had set. As we can see, next to no bubbles are floating to the surface which indicates no water penetration... yet?
