- 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.

- Patrick: Debugging and working on the code for the stability system. Tried to figure out how to make the stability system better.
- Sarang: Built some propeller + motor systems that could be used. Tried to figure out how to connect external motors to the system.

- Found the sensor values to operate with.
- Tried to read the sensor values and display the corresponding state of the device.
Basic Quad Copter Using Lego Kit and FPGA
A quad copter like device that has a self-stabilizing mechanism, on an FPGA, which will respond to user input and move accordingly.
