Lab 1 involved getting to know the inner workings of arduino and how to connect the arduino to the desktop. The knowledge gained in this lab is crucial to understanding how the AEV will eventually run.  The code written on the desktop was written by Bowei and Alec.  Together they worked through the lab procedure and wrote the correlating code.  Meanwhile, Scott, Alex and Rishabh worked together to set up the arduino and propellers in a way conducive to the tasks laid out in the lab manual.  The battery was rented, the USB that connects the ardiuno was plugged in.  After the arduino was set up the code was run and the first task was successfully completed.  The team learned how to properly write the code and set up the arduino.  Basic knowledge is crucial to understanding the more complex parts of a project such as this.
