This week, Parrotronix continued work on our Preliminary Design Review. As part of our review, we’re looking to narrow down the requirements and specifications of our project, coordinating with Pinecrest Gardens. We’re hard at work expanding on our initial concept design, and preparing to share our progress with other IPPD groups for feedback.

We’ve also started getting hands-on with our prototype! We’re kicking it off with electronics work, gathering microcontrollers, single-board computers, and a plethora of peripherals to begin experimenting and refining our control systems. Soon, we’ll also start building some physical mockups of our feathered friends using materials from the IPPD laboratories.
