Today I flew the Mavic inside the main room of the Elab to take pictures to give to Zoe for a 3D model of the room. It was kind of challenging due to the sheer size of the room and the amount of stuff in it, so we had to take a ton of pictures to get enough detail. It took a bunch of the shelf with all the tools and supplies, along with the telescopes in the corner, and I had to get a ton of angles of all the tables to make those look realistic. I went through 3 batteries, and had some trouble with takeoff because of magnetic interference inside the building, but other than that, everything went smoothly. I gave the SD card to Zoe at the end of class, so hopefully by the next class well have something to look at. Next class I hope to work more on the carbon fiber drone frame, but hopefully Ilan will be back so we can talk about using the laser cutters to cut some pieces once we get some carbon fiber sheeting.
