Reinventing everything!
Hello Flite Test Forum!
And mods. Really sorry if this is the wrong spot! Looked like the best area in my opinion.
Um, I'm new here so first off hello! My name is Trevor and I've been binge watching FliteTest videos for a few weeks now since I found the channel. I've always been a fan of anything that flies and especially RC since a young age, and just recently I've started a super ambitious project with two other friends for a competition called SkillsUSA, specifically this competition: http://www.skillsusa-wi.org/wordpress/?wpfb_dl=316
My goal here is to build a Quadcopter, now I know, what's so difficult about that right? Well this isn't your standard quad. The goal is to combine three different aspects of other existing quads into one to achieve a very unique machine. Specifically those of the Stingray 500 by Curtis Youngblood, the OFM Swift TR260 by AliShanMao and a concept of my own that I personally have not seen applied to quads before. Wish I could give out all the details but I can't at the moment. If you're interested in seeing this come to life then continue reading!
Now to the point of this thread. I need help! This competition is in March 2016 and my team and I have that time to do what took Curtis two years and add even more! I'm talking about the programing side of things. There is no flight controller that I've seen that will be able to handle this crafts abilities. Therefore I have decided to use a Pi or Arduino and hope to have a custom program to control this thing and unlock its full potential. My friends and I have almost no experience in that regard and it would take us many years to get it done alone. I'm asking for anyone's help, especially if you have exceptional knowledge in programming and flight physics.
Please PM me if you're interested. I will be checking until the final product is complete, contest or no contest. I want this thing to become more than an idea.
Thanks to all who read to the end!
