Notes from Fall Activities

My current idea for senior project is this: building an RC helicopter with a camera mount on it. My final product would not only be the helicopter, but also a short video reel showcasing its' capabilities. It's a project that combines two passions of mine; videography and engineering. I didn't really have an idea when I began my meetings in the Fall, and so my advisor helped me brainstorm and eventually flesh out this idea. I'm at the very early stages of the process. I'm still unclear as to how realistic this project is difficulty wise for someone with virtually no engineering experience, what its' potential cost may be, and a whole range of other variables. The first step for me is simply laying everything out, and figuring out where to go next.
