The 20 Time project that I have been following was created by Patrick W and what he is doing is constructing a Quad copter drone.  The progress that he had made is that he has constructed the frame of the drone and has wired the motors to the main control center.  Patrick is now working to construct the control center which is the part that distributes the power between the four motors so that it can make the drone go left, right, up and down.  The only problems that he has encounter is that the batteries used to power the quad copter is made out of lithium which are really unstable batteries that are sensitive to heat which can lead to problems for the drone.  Also new FFA Laws have been placed on drones that are not restricting them from flying above 400 ft.  This 20 time compares to my interest because I enjoy hearing about ways in which things are being constructed  and the new things that drones are doing everyday in our society from helping police officers do there job, to having fun with them in the park.
