The core of the project is to make the stability and control system for a quad copter using Altera's DE2 Board. The assembly code will be written for the NIOS II processor. The stability and control system will be tested using a basic quad copter made by a Lego Kit. The

Input to the stability system
- Patrick and Sarang: Got a more powerful external motor. Made a finite state machine for the actual functioning of the stability system. Wrote the pseudo code for the finite state machine.
- Patrick: Extended the previous, two motors + two sensors, stability system to a four motors + four sensors stability system.
- Sarang: Worked on getting the new motor working. Did research on how to control the external motor using the General Purpose I/O port. Figured out the new propeller + motor system.
