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)

- Link -> WIFI
- no gps
- Beaglebone/linux + arduino
- motor load ~ 7 amps @ ~ 250g lift
- safety/testing -> glasses, net
- regular workshop schedule -> every wednesday 7-9
- next meetup -> 6/2
- -> smaller quadcopter
- budget -> ?
~Tasks
- Beaglebone linux distribution, rt-linux & related stuff
- Investigate existing open source DoF/quadcopter platforms
- Investigate propeller mounts and/or motors
- Look at quadcopter kit prices
~Ideas
- Buy quadcopter kit (cheaper ?) to get us started
