From now on, I'm just going jump right into the project. If you still don't understand anything too bad. That's on you.
One of the most important parts of any machine is it's motors and we're prepared to spend a good chunk of our budget on them. (Though that has more to do with the fact that they're so freakin' expensive) The motors were looking at are the Air Gear 350 combo from RC Tiger-Motor. They're a bit more expensive than some others, but we figured to go for some nicer quality than you might find on a pre-ordered drone.
Spencer was supposed to be done with the CAD model, but his computer threw a fit and everything was
unrecoverable. His words not mine. Luckily he had backed it up recently so it wasn't too bad. Though we did have a mini panic since he overestimated the weight by 500 grams. When the whole quad copter only weighs between 1000 ~ 1500 grams adding 500 grams is a big deal. Hopefully we'll have the CAD done by next week. We're almost done with the parts list and getting close ordering the stuff. It's coming along well and we should be on track. Until next time!
