    Quadcoptor for 3D mapping of environments.

    The cost would be a lot more, I don't think I can afford to spend that much. But considering lower power motors can be used instead of higher power ones for a quad, then it may be a possible solution...a hexacopter just needs 2 extra motors and ESC's right? Also, I need to see if ROSflight can...

    Quadcoptor for 3D mapping of environments.

    I will be trying to shed weight as much as possible and I feel that 3kg (6.6lbs) is the worst case value for AUW. And for more thrust, I found this Turnigy L3020B-600 motor which seems to be able to provide a massive amount of power (600-800W). This brings me close to 2:1 thrust ratio but still...

    Quadcoptor for 3D mapping of environments.

    I tried some configurations...the thrust to weight ratio is low but is it okay? What should I go about changing next?

    Quadcoptor for 3D mapping of environments.

    So I did some searching and I think adding everything up, AUW would be about 3kgs (6.6lbs), which brings me to 3x2/4 = 1500grams of thrust per motor. I've looked into some low kV (500-750kv) motors specs and few of them provide prop test data like the Hobbyking Donkey ST3508 -730kV which says...

    Quadcoptor for 3D mapping of environments.

    Hello, I'm a student of Electronics Engineering and I've taken up a project wherein a quadcopter is used to create a 3 Dimensional map of any Indoor space. The quadcopter will be manually flown around and will have carry Depth Camera (The Microsoft Kinect sensor) and an onboard computer to take...
