In the last week’s activity, our team found that the strength of the structure was lacking to hold the vibrating-strong motors. It is necessary to develop more tough body, but the overall mass of the drone is limited. To develop light and strong structure, we decided to use three-dimensional structure. (see below two pictures) On other hand, our team built the software-developing-infrastructure in each computer. We are planning to develop the structure and its software at the same time. 前回の試作で分かった強度の不足を補うため、立体的な骨組みの試作を行いました。限られた重量の中で、いかに頑丈な構造を作るのかが問題になっています。 またソフトウェア開発用に基盤ツールをダウンロードし、ソフトウェアの開発を開始しました。
