Manually removing snow from car windshields exposes people to frostbite and can be especially challenging for those with physical disabilities. This Major Qualifying Project (MQP) aims to make improvements to a drone designed one year prior to solve such problems. Unfortunately, COVID regulations restricted our access to campus resources and team collaboration. Despite these hurdles, this iteration generated a MATLAB simulation of the drone, improved the reliability of the spray bar, and began implementation of a Real Time Kinematics (RTK) system for precise navigation.
