Those are what I have so far with the circuit diagram. Tell me if there is something i need to change.

10/6 Meeting
Though we had a meeting on Sunday, we still had a meeting on Tuesday. Since not everyone was at the meeting on Sunday, I went over assignments for the PDR and what I was expecting to be done with the overall project. Everything is being held up by the Propulsion fans because we do not know exactly how much force we need and what kind of fan we are going to use. Everyone but Ashleigh Neita was present at the meeting.

Meeting 10/6 Notes
All three members of the power and propulsion team were present today.
We discussed the different ways to approach choosing the hovercraft's fans. After collaborating with the structure and levitation group it was decided that it would be wise to pick the propulsion fans first and to use their weights to calculate the pressure required, flowrate, and pick a levitation fan. This is because we can control the speed that the propulsion fans operate at to tune movement, but the levitation fan has stricter tolerances it must meet.
We also determined that our rudder fan may need to be brushed. We will now consider a motor-propellor combination so that the direction can be reversed without having to take apart the encoder that comes with the fan or making our own.

10/4 Meeting
The meeting was short, but necessary. I felt that I needed to assign different parts of the presentation and report before the next class and meeting so that we could get started and we would be prepared for anything new.
The following people did not show up: Juan Quitero-Moreno, Amanda Barrett, and Brian Yang.
