Tracking Antenna Status & Mechanical/Electrical Components
- To be reviewed by the electrical team as per @Anthony Luo 's instruction
- Are we using RFD900X or XBEE?
  - depends on how EFS wants to send data to tracking antenna, maybe @Yuchen Lin could address?
  - Either XBEEs or ELRS receiver, just keep it generic bc we want flexibility

- Announced this in this meeting, @Conall Kingshott @Alison Thompson
- :poggers:
- Sharing the existence and functionality of this page & system!
- This system adds more visibility for other subteams as to what mechanical is working on and it helps others give mechanical the information they need to integrate with other subteams
- If you see blank pages it’s coming
@Anthony Luo to procure omnidirectional one (if anyone has arguments please raise them in 24 hours)

Fasteners all need to be done properly with Loctite and washers.
Currently it’s more of a test fit, there will be a session to get it put together formally
@Conall Kingshott is going to try to lead getting this done with team this week!

Moving to new documentation system to help alleviate integration hell
- If you have opinions please give it as requirements as soon as possible

@Alison Thompson
Design is underway!
Skeleton has had its first few revisions: Skeleton
- See update in Skeleton from 2023/10/05 re: cargo-bay:
  - unless strong opposition it will be behind the passenger cabin to make the drone shorter.
- This is a big decision and should be discuss!
  - Where should cargo bay be?
    - Seems like not a lot of opinions here so will progress! This is a big decision here
  - Current though process is:
    - We don’t want a taller cabin. Doing a shorter one and having it a bit longer
    - Shorter drone for easier landing
    - more structurally sound
    - more
    - drone is 422 x 422 mm diameter so “it should all fit underneath the hex middle of drone”
    - Please add into arch doc before RFC is enabled
Mounting of aero-panels and design of aero-panels is in progress,
