This year I was elected Chief Engineer for the VTOL club at Case Western Reserve University where I will be leading the two sub-teams of Mechanical/Aerospace and Electrical Engineering. I am excited to work on my skills as a project manager and team lead for our club and deliver another amazing drone. Additionally I will be gaining a better knowledge of the electrical engineering behind our drone, working on the Mavlink telemetry communication, optimizing our Pixhawk 6X, RTK calibration with ground station, and Ardupilot tuning and mission planning.

We have already begun testing with our drone which will serve as a platform to test new payload mechanisms as this year we will be simulating forest fire relief again, but with a payload of five 1/2 pound sandbags. I am excited to update this page with our progress through the semester!
