Unfortunately we had a... hard landing with the Phantom, thankfully we were able to have access to all the tools and help from the Launch Pad in order to get it back to working conditions.
 The gimbal is the largest concern. It took a lot of the force from the crash.
 One of the wires for the FPV Hub we're using was damaged so we had to improvise by soldering another spare wire to it.
It worked great, oddly enough!
We had Joel, master solder, help us with the circuit board. 
 A ribbon wire the connects the GoPro to the FPV system was torn while fixing the gimbal. Thankfully it came with another identical one which made this repair simple and uncomplicated.

And here's the Phantom put back together, nearly back to 100%!

Overall, we were confronted with a major setback in our project and it gave us the experience dealing with it. Our time at the Pad has been a learning experience that we appreciate.
