The prototype of the snitch is complete

We started and finished our prototype of the snitch today. Our first step was to make the frame/skeleton and we made it out of strips of cardboard. Then we folded the pieces to make into a circle. Then we taped the pieces together to make the finishing touches on the frame. To make the wings for the snitch we cut them out of cardboard and taped them to one of the circled cardboard strips. We taped around to make sure it was stable and tightly packed while being strong at the same time. This idea is a simple and effective design that I think will be able to fly very well and be stable. The wings are only for design purposes and could be removed for better flight. We will be attaching sensors and 2 propellers to our final design. We have 2 propellers so it counters and cancels out. The final design of the snitch will run away from people and will be able to fly by itself and it also will have a manual override if the snitch goes to high.
