Keep batteries stored in LiPo-safe bags.
How will you flow between the activities? Start with a whole group safety briefing and watch the Droneology videos all together on the projector. Break into teams to build, then come back together in P2 to talk through flight dynamics and essential terminology. Split to individual computers to take the Lesson 2 Quiz in C1. Come back together to watch the next batch of videos in C2 and end with a review of safety procedures in the DP.
What does FPV stand for?(First-Person View.)
How does a camera capture visual data?(When light hits the pixels in a camera, it knocks electrons loose and creates an electric current that the camera can detect and interpret as an image.)
Why are most FPV systems based …show more content…
Make sure students know they’ll have some parts leftover, then break into teams to finish the build in P1. For P2, gather back together to talk through the materials science behind frame construction. Then, stay together to watch the Droneology videos in C1 and C2. Break out to individual computers to take the Lesson 5 quiz at the end of C2. Students who passed can work in teams on the DP, leaving time for others to study and retake. Gather back together at the end to have teams report back on their DP research.
What are some pros and cons of a drone frame made of carbon fiber, fiberglass or aluminum? (Carbon fiber is rigid and lightweight, but can block radio signal. Fiberglass is less brittle and radiolucent, but also more likely to bend or warp. Aluminum is inexpensive, but heavy and prone to vibration.)
How does the molecular structure of carbon fiber compare to that of fiberglass? (Carbon fiber has hexagonal lattices of carbon atoms that fold and interlock, whereas fiberglass molecules cannot create crystalline structures because the material is cooled quickly.)
Why is fiberglass more likely to warp and bend than carbon fiber? (Because fiberglass is more flexible and allows for more bend before it
