Yay it's here!

We got it today! Yay! Professor Mason had posted some questions earlier regarding the programming and assembly, I'll get to those tomorrow. Until then, bask in the glory!

The blimp itself! It's a monster 52" blimp. We better start hunting for that helium....

Here's the Ultrasonic Sensor from the top. Model is Maxbotic EZ1.

A profile shot of the Ultrasound. The black rectangular part at the bottom connects directly to the main board.

Here it is!! The brains behind the blimp. At the top are the Vectoring Differential thrusters. Lego blogs and rotar in blue. Main board at the bottom in green. The batter is a 7.4 V LiPo battery. Did some reading...stores 2100 J of energy and has a 99.8% discharge efficieny. Frying is not a good thing =\

Closer shot of the front
