Week 3 and 4 Capstone Update

Week 3 and 4 Capstone Project Update

These last few weeks have taught our team how to handle obstacles and hurdles that get in our way. Bad weather has been the theme, from 6 inches of snow over night, to temperatures so cold they shut down Purdue University for the first time in my college career, we've seen it all. Despite this we as a team are still making forward progress. Krysta has been hard at work working on our class logo. with a few adjustments and tweaks we should have something that perfectly captures our UAS team. She has also started writing the rough draft and outline of our research paper which is our whole goal of this project. We also have been working in class to finish checklist for the M600, and are finalizing mounting the X5 to the M600 (Figure 9,10,11).




We have been focusing a lot on checklists and platform setup for the M600 because I think this is going to be the first platform we utilize in our missions. Professor Hupy also went over some great information with Arc Collector. We have been utilizing that application, which we can also link to our mobile phones which will help in the field! I have a personal goal to start getting ready some material for one of our display cases here at in the NISW building. We as a class have been lucky enough to receive a reserved space where we can show off our work to the rest of the airport. I want to start planning out what we will be showing off, and get ideas from the class about what they would like to see in our display case. Hopefully, I can start updating this blog with photos of a display case that is slowly filling up!
