Hi there,
Thanks to those who came to the meeting last night at Dickson College and the
wonderful reception of the UAV development idea.
For those who were not there, I proposed that MHV create a team to enter the UAV
outback challenge which is held annually in Queensland.
Here is the links to the websites for more information.

Over the next week, I am going to meet with a few potential partners and sponsors.
Assuming this goes well, we can kick off the development in a couple of weeks.
Stay tuned!
Andrew

[Makers] UAV project

Hi Guys,
It is fantastic that so many people have taken up the UAV outback project. Great
discussion and good ideas. Keep them coming.
Next week, I hope to formalise the structure of the project. I will be identifying "focus"
groups that will specialise on certain aspects of the project. There will also be a small
"committee", who will not get involved in the technical "guts" of the project, but will
responsible to keep the project running (finances, sponsorship, logistics, regulatory
aspects, etc).
Next week, I would like match people with interest and skills into groups. This will do
two things, keep the groups tight knit and focused and it will allow me to present the
project to potential sponsors showing the expertise we have in the group.
To this end, can you produce a one page summary of :
1) What aspects of the UAV project would you like to get involved in?
2) Areas of expertise.
3) Education and employment.
4) contacts for potential sponsors or partners.
5) photo.
My students will be on holidays until February. Some of them will be coming to the MHV
meeting to follow our the progress. By February, I would like us to have the basic building
blocks of what we are going to use (types of radios, autopilot, etc). My students, then can
do an "integration" exercise rather than a full blown low level development project which
they will get lost in.
Look forward to talking to you soon.
Andrew
