Any updates? is the drone ready? do we have the ladder? anything on the balloon store?

The drone will be ready for today's meeting. I didn't find the ladder. Throw a rock on me, but I think that holding a drone from below is safer than attaching it to the ladder.. For a drone at least:)

Batteries needs to be charged prior to an experiment.
Gimbal still requires some work.
Video from GoPro will be used by the CV team.
Don't wear red shirts (Or hats) in experiments.
Results aren't conclusive, we should make another attempt with fresh balloons.
Balloon seems to be pulled by the propellers even if the drone is higher than the balloon.
