Project Summary

Flight and Function

Our robotics team was tasked with assembling a drone for a special Advanced Vertical Robotics competition. The drones task was to provide visual input, both regular and thermal, and send output via a laser as well as provide visual cues necessary to the game.

Engineering Evidence

Contribution

I was in charge of making sure the drone was calibrated and the software was fully functional for the pilots to use during competition. This was my first exposure producing text code, precise soldering, and fabrication with the intent to perfically replicate an elegant drone.
