The beginning of this week was really fun. I spent the whole first class flying the mavic inside the main room of the Elab taking pictures for Zoe and Pekoy to make a 3D model of the room. I took a bunch of pictures of the really detailed areas like the bookshelves, and sink area, and did pictures of different heights around all the walls. I went through 3 batteries that day, and had some trouble with the compass of the drone because of all the magnetic interference of the Elab, but other than that it went really smoothly. A couple days later Zoe showed me the model and it turned out kinda weird and wonky, but she and Pekoy are going to adjust a bunch of stuff and this was just the first mask so they usually look pretty weird. The other two days of class included a lot of talking. We spent time the second day talking to each other about our projects and what we aim to accomplish in the short term distance. On the last day we had some visitors and we worked on our elevator speeches, explaining why we are doing what we are doing and what we hope to do to help the community, weather it be the school or the world. Next week I hope to talk to Dr. Bill about the laser cutters and see where we are with those, along with work on connecting the Naza flight controller to the motors and ESC's of the drone we are building.
