Give instructor top 3 project choice list
Typically the instructor picks teams. Students send the instructor their top 3 choices. The project choices are typically those found at Category:General_Engineering_Projects. The instructor tries to put students in the project of their choice. Put your top three choices here after they are used to assign you to this project. Create a link to the project root and to where your team will be working.

Write problem statement
Look through the existing problem statements. Find something not yet done on the project. Create a problem statement for it. Think of a new subsystem that needs to be built for the project. The goal is something simple, possible, for zero dollars.

Assign Task1
Tasks are typically done over the weekend. They are documented during the week, presented during the week and the next weekends work is negotiated during the week. Week 0 is the week that task 1 is negotiated. Record your individual task here. Plan on working on it during the weekend between week0 and week1.

Compare actual work done to Task1
Rationalize differences

Week1 Narrative
Upload photos to wikimedia. Upload video to youtube. Convert all spreadsheets, documents, and presentations to wiki format and create wiki subpage of your page for each of them. Link to them here in a narrative that tells a story. High light the problems (engineering problems) you had and how you solved them.

Week1 Peer Review
Go to each team mates weekly summary wiki page. Read their activities and narrative. Then go the associated discussion page. Say something positive on this page. Try some constructive criticism. Add your name and 1sfoerster 13:32, 28 August 2011 (UTC) to create a time and date stamp. Create a new category if another team mate has already commented here.

Assign Task2
Record what you are planning on doing for the team during the weekend between week1 and week2 of the project here.

Compare actual work done to Task2
In this task we are not only attempting to fly the drone from a pc, but control the drone using the kinect, which will be connected the the pc. The software downloaded will enable the drone to move according to arm movement.

Assign Task3

 * Everyone in our group is trying to accomplish the same thing(connection to xbox kinect) but executing it in different ways. We are installing different software, and apps, to test the drone. One member tests the ipod touch, one tests the android operating system, and i am using my PC.

Compare actual work done to Task3
This week we will fly the AR drone with the PC connected through wifi without my laptop crashing due to computer viruses. We will touch on the xbox kinect but not before we establish flight from PC.

Week3 Narrative

 * During week 3 our team faced minor problems with the drone that postponed task progress. The biggest problem we had was the drone was not flying so our diagnoses was that the brass gear on on of the motors sank too far down to exert force into the propeller gear. The brass gear was barely touching the propeller gear so i loosened the drone arm end with a mini screwdriver to push the gear up, then tightened all the screws.

Assign Task4
For week 4 our team will completely establish connection with the AR drone and be able to fly the drone through a wifi pc. The camera will be shown on the laptop screen.

Compare actual work done to Task4
Last week we tested how much weight the drone could lift and this week our team is trying to create and run a program to fly the drone from PC.

Complete Project Page
Our progression with the drone project was not as far as we would have hoped but our team still succeeded in many aspects of the project. We successfully controlled the drone using android and ipod touch operating systems and were able to lift very light objects. All members of our team are in the drone project for the next month, including a new member, so we will push the project further.

Start Next Project Week0 activities
During this week you will perform the week0 activities of the next project.
