The Parrotronix team has surpassed a month of non-stop acceleration since our two Qualification Review Board events earlier in the semester. But just because things are going well doesn’t mean we aren’t starting to get nervous around here! While we’ve been busy machining and 3D printing, we’ve also been aware of a looming deadline: IPPD’s Prototype Inspection Day is next week!

We’ll be putting on a good show, with both of our featherless friends on display for expert faculty from all around UF to observe! While we won’t have all of our scenic elements ready in time, we see this as a positive: We want to hear from the invited guests all they have to say about our mechanical design and our manufacturing as it stands. Unfortunately, images of our in-production birds aren’t ready at the time of this blog post, but we’re very excited to share our birds first public debut in the coming days!
