Elliot Penn Will Severynse Nick Proto David Palmer Rebecca Levin Jason Mei ES100 MAV Final Project Presentation
Goal of Project • Our goal was to design and fly a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) that could hold a 20g micro DVRto focus on targets in an area. • Learn to use Pro/Engineer Wildfire 4.0 to design parts of the MAV • Have fun!
Requirements of Project • The MAVmust take off and land from the ground. • It must fly for 5 minutes without recharging. • It must be controlled by a 2.4GHz transmitter in a 50’ x 30’ x 20’ indoor space.
Preliminary Research • We learned about various types of MAVs and watched videos of them in action. • We flew the Parrot AR Drone in class. • We researched different types of MAVs as well as how to control a fixed-wing MAV in flight.
Use of Google Code • http://code.google.com/p/es-100-project-mav/ • Downloading images, sharing Pro/Engineer parts and keeping track of progress

Bill of Materials Total cost of project: $251.96 http://code.google.com/p/es-100-project-mav/downloads/detail?name=MAV_project_order.xls&can=2&q=
Purchase and Practice with a Trainer MAV • We purchased a ParkZone Night Vapor and used it as a trainer. • It is lightweight and ready to fly straight out of the box.
Actual Construction of Slow Stick • We met together to put the slow stick together over a period of three days working for three hours each day. • The battery was connected via electronic male and female connectors. • The motor as connected to a speed control. • The speed control and servos were connected to the receiver.
Results • The slow stick weighed 455 grams. • We designed a camera mount in Pro/Engineer that would be created by a 3d-printer. • We successfully got it to fly
Sharing of Work • Elliot Penn – Group Leader, Creator and Manager of Google Code, Purchase of Trainer • David Palmer– Building of Slow Stick, Purchase of Slow Stick parts, Gantt Chart • Becca Levin – Bill of Materials, Preliminary Presentation, Final Report • Will Severynse – Building Slow Stick, Flying Slow Stick, Kept track of money • Jason Mei – Building Slow Stick, Creating pictures of pro engineer parts to share dimensions • Nick Proto – Final Presentation, building slow stick *These are just some examples and mostly there were multiple people working together to complete tasks*
Improvements • Better communication • Use screws instead of tape • Fly the plane in safer areas and don’t “take it to its limits” • More frequent uploads to Google Code • Better care of Lithium-ion Polymer batteries • Set goals and deadlines
The End We all worked together to complete this project. We consider this project a success Thanks to Professor Charles Kung for his help in this project
