*Insert witty title here*

Hello all! So we've made some progress but not as much as we had hoped. We had the project fair and we even had a large piece of the frame done so that people could see sort of what it's going to look like. The fair was a lot of fun and plenty of people seemed interested in what we were doing. It would have been nice if we'd been a little farther along but at least we had the full model as a prop. We know what we need to do and have the process laid out.

1. Finish making the base plates (both the 3D printed one and the aluminum one).
2. Get the electrical set up (solder some of the connectors on)
3. Put the electronics in the fully assembled frame
4. Power it up and start testing

It really does't seem nearly as daunting as the process that we had laid out at the beginning of this project. We really are starting to come up on having an actual drone and I'm super excited.

Unfortunately both Richard and I are in the .4 History of the Americas class and its started picking up in difficulty. We've made the mutual decision to pause work on the quadcopter until after we've finished our big final papers for HOA.

Here is a pictures of the limbs assembled with the motors and propellers attached. The thing is pretty dang big when all is said and done, but it shouldn't have any issues getting off the ground.

Here are the control board, GPS, Bluetooth module, and receiver all connected. This is what goes inside the body of the quadcopter that makes in function. The motors all connect to the minds on the left side of the center board.

Hopefully we can continue to work after this weekend because both of our history projects will be done.
