    Rough timeline for today

    8AM Arrive at uni, goto soldering lab
    9AM Start soldering
    10AM Talk briefly with group member, continue soldering
    11AM Still Soldering
    12PM Goto shops to get lunch, forget to take a fork, eat a chocolate bar before going back to soldering
    1PM Still Soldering
    2PM Still Soldering
    3PM Inform Group Members that I'm nearly finished before going back to Soldering
    4PM Still Soldering
    5PM Finish soldering the last few wires
    6PM Wait to see if we can get a real programmer, find out we can't
    7PM Try the DIY Parallel port programmer, encounter problems
    8PM Finish doing presentation slides before leaving for home.

    Guess what I'm doing tomorrow!

    Amusingly, today is our last day we get to work on the robot. Majority of today is going to be spent writing the report which is due tomorrow. We'll be talking to the lecturer to see if the uni will allow us to continue working on this over the summer break.

    Updates later today. And with any luck, more video too.

    Nice. I thought it was a 2-motor design? Would I be correct in guessing the two unshrouded are for lift and turning, and the shrouded is for forward/backward movement?

    Looks like you're almost ready for flight tests

    What motors are you using for this? Also, is the end goal to have it computer-controlled, or stick with human?

    The main propulsion is a 2 motor design, the ducted fan is just to stablise the system, it's not actually used for movement.

    The motors are in the video descriptions. I'll post them here later. The end goal was to have the microcontroller get the system to hover the craft, however I was unable to get the microcontroller to work as I had designed. I'm still not quite sure what went wrong with it.

    That's looking really cool. It's a shame about the microcontrollers.
