We created a new code (made by the one and only oliver choi) that displays messages in the Serial Monitor so that it is easy to know when the pump system is activated and when the pump is on/off.

The water pump's ability to pump water has significantly decreased, which led to the decision to purchase new water pumps to attach to both sides of the sprinkler mechanism. This will make both sides of the house have equal water flow. In addition, in order to make our project "presentable" (not leak every time we activate the sprinkler), we decided to re-design the baseplate on top to a floating island design.

Today, we created a new version of the house that better mimics the bark of the Giant Sequoia tree (and its ability to collect water). In addition, we created a sketch for our biomimicry slide.
