The first step

Now when we GOT the project (ya i know i emphasized on got, because we were forced to take this project as you all know and not allowed to choose a project) the first thing that came to our mind was how should we proceed with the project, as we were IT(information technology) students and had no knowledge about electronics or mechanics, required for building a quad-copter. Then we came across a group named 'tenet technetronics', who actually build projects for students for a fee. Now they extensively worked on robotics project (for which our HOD was completely crazy about) and since our project was a robotics project, we approached them. Now one good thing about this group was that they involved us in the project entirely and taught us step by step the entire procedure. So basically they were our mentors and helpers, who not only guided us in the right direction but also helped us with the project entirely.

         This was the first step that we took to actually make this project. Now i know what most of you would be thinking, that we got our project made from outside and indeed that was the case, since we had no choice and we were from an IT background. But the best part was we actually were completely involved in the project and did work really hard and used to go to tenet technetronic center every day, and we learned the entire thing about making a quad-copter step by step. They used to even let us work on the quad-copter like with the electronic stuff and the mechanical stuff. It was indeed fun and we did complete our project on time. Now what all we learned about making a quad-copter, i would share on this blog gradually in upcoming posts, along with my friend Devashish Jasani.

Never Thought we would build a quad-copter

The best part we never actually decided to do this project, it was just forced upon us (my team) apparently by our HOD (head of department). And when we started with it we never thought we would actually be able to do it. But lot of people helped us along with the project and we were able to build a quad-copter. If by any chance you don't know what a quad-copter is, i will share a image to get you the idea of it.

Quad-Copters for beginners

Hi all,

"This blog is meant for enthusiast or beginners interested in building a quad-copter."
I made a Quad-Copter along with three of my friends as a final year project while i was pursuing my engineering. Personally we faced a lot of problems, like how to get started with the whole thing and then regarding the materials we have to use and so many other variables. So i started this blog to share my experience while i was making a quad-copter. And i will try my level best to help if anyone is interested in building a quad-copter.
