Problem Statement
Connecting a nerf gun that does not require any type of power to operate, to a quad copter.

Requirements for each element or component derived from system level goals and requirements
The main requirement for the nerf gun is to find a way to have it shoot bullets from its barrell automatically.

Alternatives in design
Only one design has been created due to the limited amount of space on the bottom of the quadcopter.



The initial design
The initial design listed, actually is near the motor and other wires that are required to operate the quadcopter. After a solution is found to connect the nerf gun to the program in the quadcopter, the initial design will feature the barrells that release the bullets directly below the quadcopter motor. Check attached picture



Creative and critical thinking, and problem solving
Main Problem: Trying to connect a nerf gun that is powered without wires to a quadcopter that runs electronically.

Prior work, reuse and reverse engineering
No group has tried to accomplish connecting a human powered nerf gun to a electronically powered quadcopter. This is the first design and attempt to connect a nerf gun to a quadcopter.

Next Steps

 * 1) Mounting the barrells of the nerf gun to the quadcopter
 * 2) Finding a way to wire the barrells of the nerf gun to the quadcopter programming
 * 3) Finding a way to have the barrells shoot the bullets from the connected xbox controller
