Schedule:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

In our schedule, the blue blocks represent the plan for the project and give us a general idea about when we will work on this subsystem. The green blocks are the tasks that we have already finished, while the yellow blocks stand for what we haven\u2019t achieved yet.
\n<\/span>
\nOverall speaking, we followed our schedule pretty well. The autonomous flight system was finished by the beginning of February, and we spent most of the time on signature detection and rescue package drop subsystem during the rest of the semester. However, the sound sensor mounting and the electronics for the power distribution board in the rescue package drop system were not completed on schedule. The main reason was that we realized that these two tasks are not necessary because we could directly use the package drop mechanism to carry the microphone during the flight instead of designing a new sensor mounting, and a mobile power bank could simply replace the power distribution board due to the simple power requirements of all the components aboard. Consequently, we skipped those two tasks in the schedule, but focused more on other crucial tasks to make the whole system robust.<\/span><\/p>\n
