Meeting 10/8

We met at the end of class to discuss what was left todo. This was our last official meeting. We still have to pass the gate activation test since we passed the navigation test. We are almost done with the FDR, and I am currently working on editing the PDR presentation for the FDR presentation.

Meetings from 10/11 and beyond

After 10/11 outside of class, we worked solely on the PDR, the PDR Presentation, the FDR, and the FDR presentation.
On 10/15, we started buying items. This included our main propulsion and levitation fan. We later realized that the motor for the turning fan would draw too much current. The battery that we originally got, a NiMH was not lasting long enough. Therefore we had to buy a weaker motor and stronger fan, Li-Ion.
