  • Priorities for this term

  • zp

    • smaller projects that are easier to accomplish for efs

    • zp is a big project firmware wise

  • next comp

    • stick with aeac

    • if we do well at aeac then look at suas, same thing but more complicated

      • no radio restriction

    • VTOL for next drone (might not compete with it tho, just build)

    • Right after comp ends we push for

      • build plane

      • then turn it into a vtol

      • then when conops comes out go off

    • wataero is in micro class of sae aero so we don’t wanna step on em

    • sae aero is all planes

    • long term timeline

      • destroy this year 2024

      • next year destroy again 2025
