Blue Prints of Our Drone
This is the engineers top view of blue prints for drone. Here you can see the four propellers and the motor.
This is the side view of the drone crazyflie 2.0, you can see the battery, propellers, flange, and the battery cage
Drone upside down it shows the the motor holders, the wiring, and the bottom of the battery.
This is the bottom view of the drone done by our engineer with the measurements and titles.
Trigonometry
Trigonometry is very important when making a drone because when making the drone do what you want or even fly you have to program what you want your drone to go up down right or left, it also helps you figure the the most important angle of flight. For example without trigonometry we would not be able to tell the force weight or the mass and force lift of a drone. Trigonometry helps us program the drone to make it fly in the direction we want it to. We learned the sochatoa song in the beginning of project which is sin, cosine, tangent. opposite, hypotenuse.
Mission
Our specific mission is the obstacle course which consists of different obstacles made out of scratch from different materials such as pbc pipes, hula hoops, or even yard sticks. Our mission has 2 levels a beginners and challenge level, the beginners option is where everyone where start off and you will first go through 3 different hula hoops, then yard sticks that you have swirl trough, lastly you have to control the drone through a long closed in pipe. For the challenge option you have to start off 4 different levels of high bars and you have to do a swirl though them as each bar get set high and higher, then you have to go through the hula hoops just like the beginners, and then the yard sticks that you have to swirl thorough, and lastly you have to land on the target. as you past each obstacle you get points and if you go off course or mess up the drone you have to get points subtracted and in the end you get stickers saying you did great!
Simple Forces
Simple forces are a way to find the force weight, force lift, and mass here are some descriptions of of simple forces
A small satellite weighing 19,412N takes off with lift force of 17,690N upwards and has airfriction of 3,201 N.
To solve this you need to take the force weight which is 19,412 and divide by 9.81 m/s2 which will get us 1978,797 kg and that is the mass, after that you have to solve for Ftot and to do that you have to do Fw - Fl-mass= -4923N, after to find the acceleration you take the Ftot -4923N and divide by the mass 1978.797 kg and that will get you the answer of -2.488 m/s2. This is a helpful way to know the speed, weight, and mass of the drone. Simple forces have to do with 3 big steps force weight, force lift, and force friction and all those help you find the mass, and acceleration.
Assembly
The initial drone came i a small box with a lot of different parts, we were given propellers, battery, motors, etc. then we were given step by step instructions which was to first holding the end of the wires and attach the twisting the wires, and keep turing until the wires fit the wire hook onto the motor mounts. Then mount the motor which consisted of pushing the 4 motors into the motor mounts, then we had to insert the motor which we had to insert the motor mounts to the crazyflie 2.0 wings, and then connect the motors connectors to the crazyzlie 2.0. and those were the steps to assembling the drone.
We decided to make the beginners section and challenge for our drone audience because we felt that it would be better to have the choice because come people might not be confident in flying the drone in the hard obstacle course. We put in the hula hoops because it is interesting fun and curious adventure for the person who is flying the drone and the yard sticks so the drone can learn how o do yaw, pitch ,and roll so the people can learn to do different motions. We decided the final design for the mission based on the feedback we got from the class and based on the sample try we did with our drone test flights. We did do some alterations like make it easier because we found that ourselves couldn't even do some of the obstacles. Scroll down for pictures and step by step instructions.
Thrust, Pitch, Yaw, and Roll
Thrust- a force a push and accelerates in one direction (forward)
Pitch- rotation around the side to side axis( up and down)
Yaw- rotation around the verticle axis (side to side)
Roll- rotation around the fron to back axis (left to right)
Purposes of different drones
In our class we have 2 types of drones the solo drone and the crazyflie 2.0, the solo drone is a much bigger drone with a big controller and can film its flight from an eye in the sky. In our class we use it for purposes of filming a spectacular view in HD video. The crazyflie 2.0 is a much smaller drone that is 3 inches and can hold in one hand, the purpose of these is each group of 3 is responsible for one and can assemble it and learn how to do different tricks using the yaw,pitch, and roll. In class we use this small drone to make a mission and purpose for drone for our group we are doing a obstacle course using the crazyflie2.0.

First Round Critique Section
This is our first draft of our mission for our team flounder and reign, we have made a few changes since the class room critique. Basically the one obstacle course on the left is the beginners side and it starts with the target and you have to fly through 3 hips and go through a tunnel then swirl through years sucks an land on target. the one on the right is the challenge and you have to go through different levels of bars then hoops and lastly the tunnel.

Steps For Assembling Drone
First your drone comes in a box and all the pieces are scattered this is how you put your drone together.
First you simply connect four motors to the four propellers and add them to the plastic supporter.
Then you add the battery bracket to the drone where it can hold the battery in place.
Then you add attach battery bracket the the little holes on drone.
Your drone should look like this the place the bracket and then slide the batter into bracket.
Then simply add plastic stand with propellers attaches and fit into each stem of drone wing
After you add plastic hold up with propellers simply connect each propeller engine to the actual drone itself.
Once you have done then connect battery to drone by inserting through the bottom as shown on the picture there should be 2 wires an input and output just connect to get battery started.
And finally you are done assembling your drone! when turning on wait for flashing green lights and for all 4 propeller to make a quick spin before flying.
