Problems We Faced

Wrong Arduino- We looked closely at what we ordered, but figured out that we may have ordered the wrong hardware. The thing that we ordered that was the most essential piece of hardware we needed, was the wrong one. We think that we found a way to make the one we bought work in our project.
Wrong Software for the "Arduino" we have- The Arduino board that we bought (that wasn't even an Arduino), we found that the software on the computer is for the Arduino IDE and not the one we needed.
Motor Broke- When our group went to the Kalamazoo Expo Center to show off our RnD project, we were flying our drone in the building and it crashed. The prop broke and one of our team members tried to pull off the broken prop from the motor. When he did it the motor got disconnected from the drone. We tried to reconnect the wires to the motor, but the hardware inside the motor was so small (as you can see in the picture), it was almost humanly impossible to reconnect the wires together. We were going to have to buy a new set of motors.
