    Today was far too windy to fly, so I just continued shadowing/working with Daniel on building the drone. Daniel was mainly focused on installing the ESCs in the drone. The ESCs plug into the DJI motors that we have on the ends, and I learned that ESC stands for Electronic Speed Control. In the case of our drone, this relates to the throttle outputted by each motor. The role of each ESC varies as the drone uses different levels of propulsion in each motor in order to accelerate, bank, and turn. We also worked on the controller, trying to figure out how to connect it to the drone itself.
