X-labs has been making great progress on our X4 UAV project! We have most of the parts so we can finally start doing what we do best - building! The UAV will be built over the next couple weeks; this means that we will have more "build" meetings outside of the normal Friday meetings. I will send emails out whenever we meet so any available members can help with the build.

The website has been updated some as well. Please check out the "High Altitude Balloon Projects" link and the "X4 High Altitude UAV" link on the left.

Here is a picture of the UAV components that we currently have:

Hello Everyone, 

The X-Labs website is currently undergoing some improvements, so if things on the site seem weird or different over the next week or two it is all normal. I am currently working on improving the content and layout of the site. The bad spam problem should now be over due to the addition of the re-captcha I added in the account creation form. 

It would be great if everyone could take a look at the updated content via the links on the left side of the page. I will be adding more content mainly to the X4 UAV page. Please let me know if any X-Labs members are interested in writing content. 

We are making great progress as a club, lets keep up the good work! 

Thanks, 

Coyt Barringer 

This is the system diagram for the X4 High Altitude UAV. The UAV is currently X-Labs most ambitious project. The Goal is to send a small Unmanned Arial Vehicle to the edge of space and have it fly home to us bringing a variety of sensor data and high definition video from Space!

X-Labs, 

There will not be a meeting today. USF is on spring break and neither Joe or I can come. 

Thanks, 

Coyt
