Come up with potential codes to run the AEV  that will run the final intended scenario.

Timeline/Gantt Chart:

None for this week

Decisions:

Team voted on major design change in keeping the two motor design in order to save energy in the long run due to optimal side of propellers.

Previous Assignment:

The previous lab called for the team to decide on two potential designs and being tested with the same code to look for difference in energy.

How things can be improved for next time:

• Earlier start time for the weekly assignments
• More streamlined way of decision-making for design choices
• Do not get caught up on smaller details, just results
