You can understand the characteristics and performance of Fourbot by looking at the movie below.



This is Aksel Gaspari who developed Fourbot. I live in California.


Aksel says that he liked to skip the radio control helicopter than before


It is a radio control helicopter with multiple feathersMulticopterCamera can be mounted on the camera, and it can be obtained cheaplyFourbotHas been developed.


On the top and bottom of the main bodyGoProCan install a camera such as ... ....



It is possible to take pictures from the sky.




It is possible to develop with open source for control of the main bodyArduinoThe system is adopted, and stable flight is enabled based on 6 sensors such as gyro sensor and acceleration sensor. You can also tailor it to your favorite flight performance by changing Arduino's program.


In the main body frame,G-10We use high rigidity material called "CNC controlled machine tool". Thanks to the adoption of the G - 10 material, even if it crashes from a slightly high place, there is little worry about breakage.



Four motors mounted are lightweight and high power type, with four independently controllable to enable free flight.


In order to show its performance, Aksel is trying to store it in the trunk of a passenger car while skipping Fourbot.


Pass through the car body's limit ......


Storage stunningly successful! You can see that it has high flight performance.


Fourbot comes with several extension systems. For example, if you add a GPS function package, you can let it fly along the specified point.


In addition, "Goggle Pack" capable of real-time transmission of video by Bluetooth in 5.8 GHz band is prepared, and it is also possible to see images as if they are flying through the head mounted display attached to both eyes It is becoming.


Fourbot can choose both the finished product set and the assembly kit.


The assembly kit that you can assemble yourself is $ 299 (about 31,000 yen).


A basic package that can be acquired and bought is available for $ 359 (about 37,000 yen).


In the package of 475 dollars (about 49,000 yen), the GPS function and video transmission system are set in the basic package.


A package that can see the aerial image with a powerful head mounted display is $ 689 (about 71,000 yen).


And the full set which becomes "GPS all" on the head mounted display + video transmission system is priced at 799 dollars (about 82,300 yen).


This Fourbot is currently in the cloud funding siteKickstarterWe are looking for investment at the time of article writing and about US $ 40,000 (about 412,000 yen) is gathered for the target price of 10,000 dollars (about 1,300,000 yen). When the investment amount reaches 50,000 dollars (about 5.15 million yen), when the remaining battery alarm exceeds 80,000 dollars (about 8.24 million yen), the improved landing gear (landing gear) It is supposed to be equipped. In addition, it costs $ 25 (about 2600 yen) separately for sending outside the United States.

The deadline for submission by Fourbot is Japan time, 2:12 am on December 17, 2013 (Tuesday).
