|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Antenna Tracker | Nolan is working on this and wants hardware to test by July? | July 15, 2023? | “Materials” <$100 | ||
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! | August 31, 2023 | 3 sets of ~$700/4 motors (https://shop.compositescanada.com/#/product/CFT-22X20TW ) ~$300 of aluminum, fasteners, filament, etc. Total: $3200 | ||
Simulation knowledge-base | Conall knows negative amounts about SIM. | ??? | $0 | ||
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 | We need new templates that load in properly, use proper units and good drafting standards. | June 15, 2023 | $0 | ||
