An update from Luke

This week we made it a huge effort to have everything accessible from the web. We have completely set up Git for our SVN Repository. A wiki has been created and we are currently pushing all of our Google Documents over to it. There has been lots of progress with the custom circuit board.

I have reached the stage of the circuit board that I would have liked to be at and I am nearly ready to have it made.
A plan of ours it to make it down to UCSD to meet with Dr. Kastner about his current UAV projects that he is researching. Cody and I feel like this would be a great experience to try to ask what problems and possible solutions we could expect in our own project.

This week I have put in over 28 hours on the research.

Heat management is a critical aspect in every project and is currently my upmost concern. 

For next week we would like to have all of the Web stuff finished and self cleaning. We would also like to meet with Dr. Kastner this Friday, however that all depends on his schedule. Last I would like to start working on reworking the design of the power board for better heat management.
