We decided the initial drone features.

We plan on making a laser tag drone: - Each player will control their own drone. (We'll be manufacturing two for this.) - The objective of the game will be for the drones to find and tag each other using the attached remote controllable laser and IR sensors.

Other features include semi-autonomous navigation as well as a camera for photos/FPV.

Our main concern is the thrust and the weight of the drone.

This is what we spent the majority of the time figuring out, but we learned a lot about aerodynamics.

We decided on an initial BOM, which is included in our Full planning document
