Flying RoboSeed Nano Prototype
Role Monocopter UAV
National origin United States
Manufacturer RoboSeed
Designer Evan R. Ulrich

Development

The Nano was developed from research on flight characteristics of the Samara seed, coupled with modern small scale remote control electronics and research on controllability of monocopter vehicles. The aircraft is powered by a 2 cell 920mAh LiPoly Battery.[1]

Internal GPS, Altimeter, and Video

gollark: As the majority of the system actually is just triggering events and some callbacks at certain times, I could plausibly modularize it nicely.
gollark: I have tried adding another task to start the MPD one if it stops somehow, but that somehow did nothing. I have tried vast quantities of `try`/`catch`es. I've tried turning on various async debugging options, removing the websocket interface, etc. Nothing works and I have no idea why.
gollark: AIOHTTP is fine, it's just that somehow all my interacting things will cause it to break for no apparent reason.
gollark: It used to use gevent, but I had issues, so it's on AIOHTTP now, but also stuff breaks unfathomably.
gollark: Oh no.
