Objective | Get landing pad position from landing pad team and drone position from EFS, and do some math to figure out where we need to be in order to be on top of the landing pad, and tell EFS to go there. |

 Plan for Implementation
Â
Coordinate with EFS on their expectations
Create and detect mock landing pad for testing
Plan for the possibility of have a 3rd camera for auto landing/centering at range
Pass data to EFS to center drone over pad
Figure out how EFS(Flight software on STM32/Nucleo) and CV(Software on Jetson) communicate (Have a cv member be a communications liaison with EFS)
If drone is too high up to definitively center on landing pad, then CV autoland should descend until it is certain it is centered (10m)
