Our frame is coming along well and we have bluetooth working!

Everything works and we have integrated all the parts except for the motion sensor for flapping, and we are making do with a remote. A video of live flight is at the following link (on my facebook profile, we were live for a bit): https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1000152... Also, there's a video on the previously linked youtube channel.

We have successfully suspended, lifted, and lowered a test dummy!

A further update: We have raised and lowered Roberto, a 200-pound handsome man!

We now have successful flapping due to Maverick's useage of the brutal connection method!

Our game now works! We are hoping to complete the flap detector for the arm soon so that we have a complete harness-independent game, leaving harness integration for later tonight.

we figured out how to live stream the view from the vr headset through youtube, but may change in the future. Here's the link to the channel where all streaming will happen: https://gaming.youtube.com/channel/UCjTWyx2A16A...

All of our software is working, our arduinos are behaving as expected, and the game is functional, the phone is connecting to both bluetooth modules correctly, the custom shield for the wrist flapping part works great, and we have no way to move this structure to the site of the demos without taking it apart. Hopefully we'll see y'all there!
