Hi, my name is Koby and before you stop reading, the reason for this post is not to ask for money or for a drone, but it is to ask for help to collect funding to buy a drone and to collect ideas on how to raise the money.
Who we are:
I am writing this on behalf of myself and my friend Alex. We are both teenage, learning programmers who are excited by technology and especially excited by drones.
Experience:
I have piloted many types of quadcopters including the DJI Phantom 2 Vision, and different helicopters (I own two quadcopters including a Parrot A.R. Drone, which really doesn't count in my opinion, and different helicopters). My friend has flown Helicopters and a small amount of planes and knows C++, Java, HTML, CSS, and C. I am currently in the process of learning python while increasing my knowledge of the amazing world of Java!
What we want to do with the drone:
We have been looking at the Inspire drone since it was announced, we would love to have our hands on this amazing system for many different reasons. One of these reasons is to create applications using the new SDK. We have been thinking of many different original ideas which we rather keep to ourselves at the moment. One idea that we would like to share however, is building on three dimensional mapping software. Using different systems to map areas, we would like to use the quadcopter's amazing stability features to our advantage. We have thought of different systems, some using a pixy camera, and some using a complex system of small sensors attached to the drone.
Why we made this post:
We made this post with the idea of how to get this Inspire quadcopter, without breaking the bank. Of course saving money is an option, however the price is still upwards of three thousand dollars. We know that the DJI community is really "taking off" (Dronepuns anyone?... No?...) and we would like to be a part of this personal drone revolution.
Thank you very much for any ideas you can contribute!!!
For some clarity:
I hope that most people on this forum understand that our age has nothing to do with our maturity and motivation. We do not want a big toy to pilot around, we want to add to innovations and ways to utilize these amazing quadcopters. We are also thinking about the inspire rather then other systems because it really does have everything that one would want in a drone. Thank you again! |
