Advanced Multi-rotor Drone

=Design Goal= The main project objective is to understand the ground-up multi-rotor drone design. It will include the electro-mechanical design and construction of the airframe, the design and construction of electrical/electronic circuitry to implement the control system that allows the drone to fly, and the design and construction of tools to aid in the process. The control system design will be implemented in an FPGA. A large portion of this project is developing tools to pass on to future teams. This includes various customized tools and methodologies for the development process.

=Project learning= FPGAS: Field Programmable Gate Arrays are devices that are based on around a matrix of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) which have programmable connections. We can use this property to monitor and respond to all of our sensors simultaneously, allowing extremely fast response time.
