Task Progression/Updates

Initial Ideas
You can use the old PDB case seen in the COMP 2025 assembly and the makeshift case currently on the drone for inspiration
Progress:
First iteration of design is complete. A similar design to the old PDB case was used. Angled vents were added to force more airflow over the PDB. The shape of the case was altered to more closely match the shape of the PDB.
The bottom design and ventilation was kept very similar to the old design, with a change in shape to stay symmetrical with the top.
If there is a desire to add side protection, wire connections will have to be examined more closely and possibly altered.
