Flying quadracopter PCB

I am 100% you saw this in the news a couples of weeks ago.

I was blown away by the design until I read a comment that linked to this:

This is NC one V2

In my personal opinion, I think that the bolt holding the motor should be replace by something else. There is 4 of them, it’s heavy! When I worked in Hong Kong, on RC toys helicopters they use to remove every single grams of weight they could! 1 grams can change everything on very small craft like this one. I would of tried a press fit plastic adapter. The plastic adapter clips in the PCB and the motors is the press fit.

Look at that sexy components layout! Very well done!

They get a normal squared PCB and they cut with the CNC.

Here is NC one v1

Very small!

You can visit there website here : http://www.nanokopter.at/tiki_v6/ ( in German). They are working on V3! It should be ready this summer… June 2011.

Here is the link of the first quadracopter: http://www.daedalus.nu/category/crazycopter/

Here is a other robot I made for Solarbotics instructables. The principal is base on the “symet” robot. Symet stand for symetrical/symmetric robot. You have a single motor where the shaft rest on the ground. It moves in different directions depending of the point of contact around the shaft and the ground. In my case I use 3 wheels and one of them is motorized. When the motor is powered, the entire robot spins in circles while moving foward.
