This week I didn't get that much done on the drone we're building. I spent most of my time talking to the new sub about my projects, and then talking to Zoe about the 3D model. She got Pix4D this week so she started making the model on that and it looks so much better than the old program. I also flew the Mavic a lot this week, playing with sport mode with Will, Chris, and Ilan. It flies a lot faster when in sport mode, and is a lot more maneuverable. I think that we will keep it in sport mode because it helps with getting shots and being more maneuverable while filming action. The first day, we just flew around the Elab, but the second day of the week we went down to the lower fields and filmed the Union, the Cafeteria, the Math building, the fields, the gyms and the people walking around there. It was fun to fly the drone around some of our friends, and also to film something other than the Elab. Next week I want to work a lot on the drone frame, and maybe even talk to Dr. H about using the laser cutter to cut out some pieces of carbon fiber in the future.
