Objective | Simple manager that coordinates the competition flight system |

Key outcomes | Design and implement an object-oriented system running in a linear loop that can communicate with the ground station, tower, and Pixhawk to make a drone fly |

🤔 Problem Statement
With the complicated competition flight system, we need high-level software to aid us in the coordination of different sub-systems. The flight system EFS came out last year has a fantastic and delicate architecture, but it also takes way longer time than we expected to accomplish. We want to have a high-level system with simpler logic that can fly a drone with the aid of Pixhawk as the backup plan for competition.

This is the rough idea of how it is gonna work
please point out the flaw in this type of design and the missing part of the system
🗓️ Timeline
The goal is to have the first flyable prototype done in mid-June. The actual time span can be longer since there will be a lot of components involved and they all need testing and debugging. The good part is that Hardy Yu has enough time to invest in this development since he is the coop.
