Week 4 Lab: Meaurements

Last week in class it was too windy to perform any flight plans so we did not even attempt it. Instead we tried to see if we could connect the controller to our quadcopter inside and do some light flyng outside for practice. Everytime we raised the throttle, the drone would fly even at the slightest touch. But when we would release the throttle, our drone would lose connection and would have to be reconnected, proving it to also be very inefficient. So we decided to fly at least next week in at least better weather conditions. Below is a picture of the best image that we obtained in lab.

Instead of flying, we gathered measurements of all facades of the building. We used measuring tape and alternated positions to acquire the lengths of each facade.

Measurements:

The entrance facade: 53'6"
side facing Disque: 196'9"
side facing Bossone: 31' 9"
side facing Market St.: 173' 6"
