LA JOLLA, CA - UC San Diego’s massive campus offers hundreds of clubs to join and thousands of classes to take. When I came to UCSD, I spent a lot of time shopping around for what I wanted to do with my free time here. I read through the list of all clubs multiple times to find a place to belong.

Throughout the winter quarter, all of our subteams made significant progress towards the SUAS competition in June, which now puts us in a good position to begin rapidly testing and iterating on all of our systems during the coming quarter. We are planning a large quantity of test flights throughout the first half of the spring quarter mainly focused on capturing all of the footage and recording all of the data needed for our Flight Readiness Review video, which is due on May 1st. Beyond that, we will continue to refine our system and increase our confidence in its correctness until we depart for Maryland in June. The road to get here, however, was full of a lot of hard work, and all of our subteams would like to share what they have achieved throughout the last eleven weeks.
