Today Ilan and I worked more on assembling the drone frame. The top and bottom plates came screwed together, so we had to unscrew them to fit the arms and the legs onto the bottom plate. I did that while Ilan assembled the legs with the landing gear, and then we both worked on attaching the arms and legs. We then attached the top plate to hold the arms in place and then we screwed on the two eyelets to the bottom plate where we will slip the mounting poles through so we can add gimbals and other accessories. Hopefully next class we will be able to finish the frame, mount the motors, and begin wiring the internals so we can try and get the drone running simply by next week. Here are some pictures of where we got to today.
