Who?[edit | edit source]
Anyone who is interested in teaching, learning, and working on UAVs. Especially teaching, because I have no clue what I'm doing.
The event is organized by User:Alanpersak.
Why?[edit | edit source]
So we can conquer the world with a swarm of flying robots.
Details[edit | edit source]
I will be working on building, programming, and flying a UAV of my own and I would like to invite anyone who is interested to join me.
My goal is to build a custom quadcopter from commercial parts costing less than $500 total. I will be optimizing for power efficiency and flight time.
The meetup will happen weekly on thursdays from 8-10 pm.
There will not be any sort of lesson or presentation, because I have no idea what I'm doing yet. It's just a time for some work and collaboration.
Meeting 1[edit | edit source]
