**Figure 2**
Shows a sample connection with the VRPN system, a packet sent or recieved
from the quad, an initialization file, and the Crazyflie adapter. The initialization file
and Crazyflie adapter are both proposed changes to the system. The VRPN connection gets
trackable information from the camera system with an identifier for the trackable object.
This allows for distinguishing between multiple trackables. The packets used between the
quad and the ground station as custom packets created specifically for reliable communication
over wifi to the quad. The initialization file will help with connecting multiple quads, or
other flying machines to be connected into the lab setup. The Crazyflie adapter will allow
the Crazyflies to work with the MicroCART system.
