• Air Resistance or Drag - decreases overall range of sensor
• Effects of Wind• Crosswind – Causes deflection of flight path• Headwind/Tailwind – Reduces/increases overall range
• Rotation/Spin – Deflection of flight path and/or changes in range (Magnus Effect)
•Sensor Mass – Reduces or increases range.

Next Quarter GoalsNext Quarter Goals
1. Build a fully functional prototype on 12” x 12” base.2. Test functionality of all components and interaction with
other parts.3. Calibrate wind sensor in the R.I.T. closed circuit wind
tunnel.4. Integrate all possible components onto 10cm robot, and
conduct tests with robot/launching station assembly.
