Week 6

Summary

• The XactSense Titan drone listed in last week's blog post was $120,000. This week we updated the parts list for the coconut harvesting drone to be more cost efficient. Table 1 shows all the parts and projected cost.
• We also found a light weight laser module  that is part of a Laser Engraver for steel Iron. We will take out just the laser diode module to fit on the drone so it will be light weight and output enough power to cut the coconut stem. More research is necessary to confirm this. The specifications are below.
