Student UAS

Posted by Daniel Morgan on June 24, 2009 at 8:48pm
Just got back from this years AUVSI Student UAS Competition. My team (Utah State University) took 1st place this year using a paparazzi based platform. We recorded the highest score in the history of the competition. It was a very fun event and my hats off to all those who put it on each year.

    Good, Congratulations... Hope I can Join in next year event.
    Can you describe here about your autopilot design concept?

    Thanks.

    Well lets see my guess is probably around 7000-8000 or more. Commercial autopilots don't come cheap

    Do you have a ballpark estimate on what was spent on the best looking entry?
  • Daniel Morgan June 25, 2009 at 7:47am
    ~$3500. This got bumped up because of our use of higher end cameras and an IMU

    Good! What was the total spent on this system this year?
  • Daniel Morgan June 25, 2009 at 7:36am
