Created initial design idea for ebox that allows easy access to most components, low CG, adequate cooling
Open to feedback/suggestions
Contacted protocase & inquired about integrating polycarbonate into design
Thinking it will make it lighter and is non conductive
They said they can but there are limitations and they need to see the design

Comms/Gimbal mount
...
Had a meeting with Austin and Billy about antenna interference and importance of placing gimbal on the same plane as the antennas.
Not very important, recommended if we do put on same plane to make frame of gimbal with plastic to minimize interference.
Created two different very rough prototypes:
1: Different level gimbal and antennae
Pros:
Antennae
Antennae in open air, best case for interference
2: Gimbal and antennae all on same plane (not my favourite for reasons mentioned later
Pros:
Vision
360 FOV
Over arm most of the time, better vision with arm connected
Cons:
top heavy
Will need to manufacture camera frame with some plastic because of interference
