Antenna Tracker

Nolan is working on this and wants hardware to test by July?

July 15, 2023?

“Materials” <$100
Idk what EFS has planned for servos, etc.

Medium Testing Drone (Phoenix/Houston/Vanny replacement)

Do we want to consider this? Materials aren’t bad, and it can be a long-term project (3-4 terms?). This is a response to the concerns that “Houston is too small for all our sensors” and we only have 1 Vanny. Try to get done for EFS to try flying ZP3 some day? Control system cost is my concern.

July, 2024?

$60/Frame or aluminum

Control system??? Vanny?

Comp 2024 Base Drone

Requirements are not ironed out, so it’s hard to say. Likely either X, or H quad running a combo on the sheet below. Have “ready” for Fall term?

Anni has made motor selection reference!

3 sets of ~$700/4 motors

~$800 of CF for 3 frames

(https://shop.compositescanada.com/#/product/CFT-22X20TW )

~$500 of aluminum, chemicals, fasteners, filament, etc.

Total: $3400

Simulation knowledge-base

Conall knows negative amounts about SIM.

Fixed Wing for EFS?

PID Tuning

Here we go again!

Do we need this for ZP? Design medium testing drone with PID tuning in mind???

July 2024?

$100

New Templates

Conall Kingshott

We need new templates that load in properly, use proper units and good drafting standards.
