There was another rough landing that compressed the back left motor of the Phantom. Our parts finally came in and we were able to replace it.


Motor is replaced and prop guards have been added. We're also ready to send the gimbal in for repairs and hope to have it back in no time.
We also have our computer up and running. Below are the specs.

We built this computer for the 3-D mapping program we're using that requires quite a bit of resources in order to render our maps.

At this point we feel we're at a good spot in the project. Everything is working, and despite some regressions we've far surpassed them in progress!
