If I were to redesign it I would put the tape in bubbles and put it in between the aluminum and mylar. Your final mass loss for the ice penguin is 49%]]> 2018-02-21 21:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/brogjord/9ai3tp7n08bg/wish/234002286 Step 7 :Modify Design brogjord https://padlet.com/brogjord/9ai3tp7n08bg/wish/234002502 We changed by insulating the walls with cotton which we hope will help because it will add a new barrier]]> 2018-02-21 21:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/brogjord/9ai3tp7n08bg/wish/234002502 brogjord https://padlet.com/brogjord/9ai3tp7n08bg/wish/234800039 2018-02-23 17:16:17 UTC https://padlet.com/brogjord/9ai3tp7n08bg/wish/234800039 brogjord https://padlet.com/brogjord/9ai3tp7n08bg/wish/234800553 2018-02-23 17:17:12 UTC https://padlet.com/brogjord/9ai3tp7n08bg/wish/234800553
