Reflection on our tent design

A few things we would have done differently were...

We would have used a different netting material that was more "fine" as in the holes on it were much smaller because large drones would get caught in the netting and smaller drones would get out!
We would have used clips to secure our netting instead of zip ties because the zip ties would cut our hands occasionally and also slipped causing holes in our tents that would result in drones escaping.
While we were able to fix the issue of having no bottom it became clear that having a bottom and top is very important.

Draw backs and limitations of our sensor circuit

Some drawbacks and limitations are If the drone is going to fast then sensor won't read it because the drone will pass by between the detection times. The wires are a little over the place so the drone could get caught in the wire and rip them out. The whole system is fragile, so it can't be moved around too much, or the wires will come apart. Some ways to remedy these issues are to. Protect the system by encasing it in something. Ramp up the readings per second.

This is our drawing and small-scale model for our tent. Our Fundraising idea was to have a price to try to navigate the course (Say 1 dollar) if they successfully navigate the course then they earn a raffle ticket for a gift basket of some kind.
