Hello all!
Im a 13 year old game developer and recently ive been low on money (27 dollars) to finish building my Racing game and my GTA game in unity3d. anyways me and my friend always loved quadcopters. and we loved autonomous stuff. so we came up with plans to build a UAV Autonomous (and manual controlled) drone. Its called the LucasGame x4. it will be built upon a multiwii flight controller since they are cheap and good. we wanted to start up a small internet (and local too!) business building and selling them. unfortunately we dont have enough money to build one as we need a prototype for demonstration. so we started an IndieGogo campaign to help raise money for us to build one. our goal is 600 dollars but in order to build it we only need about 400. the other 200 is to cover campaign fee, domain name, etc) so we need a minimum of 400 dollars and if we dont make it to 600, we can try opening a crap free webstore. anyways, could you drone lovers find it in your hearts to donate to our campaign and make our dream come true?
the drone can be flown either with GPS points plotted out on a computer or manually with the included flyky TX/RX. it estimated battery time is about 10-20 mins using a low end battery (just for prototype, we will use best parts possible for final models). the frame is a Turnigy H.A.L quad frame because of the durability, price, and load capacity. if you have any other questions please dont hesitate to ask and please if you can, donate. Every penny counts!!

I'm 12 and I have a lot of experience with programming and multirotors. If you need any help figuring out how to build a Quadcopter as best a possible (for not too expensive of a price), contact me and I would love to help! Email: tsemme@gmail.com. By the way, I am not too sure the multi-wii is the best board. Look at the naze32 and cc3d for gps ability. Also, check out the kk2 board. It does not have gps but it is perfect for beginners!
Ps-look up ScratchBuildRC on YouTube. You'll find me there!
