Give instructor top 3 project choice list
For my second project my three preferences in the exact order were helicopter, hovercraft, and engines.

Write problem statement
For this project i will control and fly the AR Drone using a PC(laptop).

Assign Task1
Download all files for AR Drone to PC and extract files in appropriate places to set up a controller program.

Week1 Activities
This week i have downloaded several files to run drone flying programs and application. Last weeks tasks included locating valid files and determining the consistency of the program.

Week1 Narrative
This week i have downloaded many files and applications and extracted them in their according folders. Here's a list of the file names:
 * Microsoft .NET FrameWork 4.0
 * Windows AR Drone
 * AR Drone
 * DirectX 9u
 * DX Setup
 * AR Drone SDK

The main website that i based my interest of the AR PC is http://ardrone.murdoch3d.net/. Here is a Youtube video demo using the Windows AR Drone application: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=q2YutO8IgE4 Another video from youtube that shows the Microsoft SDK application: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=4V5B-DPWdOQ

Week1 Peer Review
I posted feedback on each of my teammates discuss pages.

Assign Task2
I am planning on arranging the programs in the order that i think will work better to connect to the drone, because the applications will not work unless connectivity is precise. Connecting to the drone is vital to getting the apps to work.

Compare actual work done to Task2
This week was not much different than week 1 because of the technical problems with the program configuration on Windows 7. There is consistent frustration with drone connectivity and file extraction.

Week2 Narrative
This video is an example of the Win32 file running on Microsoft SDK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=RQozjFRBhgA

This video shows s person using the program file called AR Drone Control.NET 1.1.1 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=rslHrWzheLE

Week2 Peer Review
I posted feedback on my teammates discussion pages.

Assign Task3
This next week i will still be focusing my work on the windows ar drone application but i will start from scratch in a sense. I am going to create a separate folder to put my specific downloads into. Then i will clear all activities and excess storage so download installation will be thorough and undisturbed. I am currently working around the pc problems through documentation and trial and error.

Compare actual work done to Task3
Facing most of the same technical difficulties occurring within download installation progress. Looking through pc for any install deterrent that could be halting my programs downloads.

Week3 Narrative
Examples of Windows flown ar drones:

Week3 Peer Review
Posted feedback on my teammates' discussion pages.

Assign Task4
For Task 4 i will partially attempt to keep diagnosing the pc problem, but i will also help Chaagi with his portion. We will be playing a game opposing each other flying 2-3 AR Drones in the same game.

Compare actual work done to Task4
The differences of week 3 to week 4 were the particular programs i tried to install but installation was a failure in the longrun for all download. My specific diagnosis is that my PC is not capable to run certain files because the class computers had absolutely no problem doing so. Also this week i had time to fly the drone and gain skill in practice so that we can use the drone in the application game/battle.
