Prototyping gone wrong.... Crash time

Posted by Kris Kitchen on April 3, 2015 at 7:08pm

I have been doing some drone testing of some things and stuff I have been making. This is a moment from the Drone FPV and from the Glass unit. 

The drone lost a prototype leg in flight. Landing with 3 legs vs 4 is never a good choice, especially with a gimbal and a camera that will take the hit on the crash landing. Here is what it looks like from Glass: 

 

And what the drone saw: 

 

 

I have fixed and tested the design, it is now ready for anyone to have.http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:755263

    Absolutely wonderful save there. At first I was trying to figure out what you were trying to do. That curb was just the right height. "Perfect" landing in my book!
