R2B4 #13 - Sixth Sense Finisher Prize (contains spoiler)

1 May 2019

I was contacted by Daniel Zima to tell be that I was also due a mystery finisher prize for my Sixth Sense Design Challenge entry of my R2B4 robot. He didn't say what it was but did hint that there was a multiple unit and he thought I would enjoy it. I redirected my UPS delivery to a local pickup as I was not home today and managed to get it before they shut, and then drove home still wondering what it was. And here is what it turned out to be:

It is a small quadcopter that appears to be driven from Arduino...how cool is that !!! Guess what I am now doing this evening? I'll post an update when I figure out what goes where and of the maiden flight. I also see that dougw has his quadcopter blogged today, well done Douglas for assembling it so quickly. It will be interesting to see how all the finishers decide to use theirs.

 

There have been a lot of firsts for me recently with Element14 and the whole community spirit with competitions and challenges helping push me further - for instance I'd never made a robot vehicle, animatronic servo eyes, ran a stepper motor or used/owned a 3D printer until I did so for E14 blogs....and also, I have never flown or owned a quadcopter until today

 

Thank you again danzima and Element14 team, it is an awesome gift.

    Congratulations!  I too have tried all sorts of new things as a result of participation in e14 events and learned much from the support of other members.  That is a really interesting quadcopter kit. I would…

    There was a bit of 'turning and burning' late last night but I didn't want to risk a novice flight in my cramped lounge and it seemed too late to go outside last night. I don't thinkt the separate Arduino boards are integral to the quadcopter, just extra E14 generousity. I recall a video you posted of a friend's first quadcopter flight and so am being cautious :-)

    Congratulations!  I too have tried all sorts of new things as a result of participation in e14 events and learned much from the support of other members.  That is a really interesting quadcopter kit. I would be interested in how educational you find it.  Arduino seems to do a good job in that regard.
