DEVELOP & PLAN
Materials:
Required:
- Electric soldering iron
- Solder wire
- Glue gun/Super glue
- Lithium Battery
- 2 brushless motors (at least)
- Signal transmitter (2.4G)
- Cardboard/Pressed plastic
- Popsicles/Plywood
Optional:
- Light-curing 3D printer (if we need to use Resin)
- Controller (if we have time)
- CNC machine
- Laser cutting machine (if we need to use metal or cardboard)
- LED lights (for flex)
- Mother board
- Plastic film
Techniques:
Ability to debug motors
(Ability to) Use of soldering irons (soldering techniques)
(Ability to) Use of hot melt glue gun
(Learn how to) Create lift using propellers
(Optional) Use of Ultimaker Cura
(Optional) Use of 3d modeling software such as fusion 360 or else
Plan:
- Gather materials (Listed above)
- Build different types of propellers based on research
- Test how much weight twin propellers can lift (Using a piece of cardboard and weights)
- Design and distribute weight of the helicopter based on the findings above
- Start laser cutting pieces
- Connect electrical appliances
- Build outer shell
- FLY!
