A quadrotor, also called a quadrotor helicopter or quadcopter, is a multicopter that is lifted and propelled by four rotors.

Current Hardware


Propellers (final)


Weight target is 500g, Payload 250g, Lift 250g

  • Arduino 27g
  • esc 22g
  • motor 38g (spec)
  • propeller 7g

27+4*(22+38+7)= 295? (268 for motor + ESC)
