Team goals

The club builds a vehicle for the annual Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) Seafarer student competition.

Some projects include a UDB3 controller board development, our first project, which involved programming a flight controller from scratch, and interfacing it with an RC transmitter; SkyCall: a project to lead tourists with a UAV; MIT Prime: a project to deliver packages from dorm to dorm using UAVs; TechFair: a project to display and fly company logos at a tech expo on MIT’s campus; and World Urban Forum: a project to explore applicability of UAVs in disaster relief.

Notable quirks

One of our first autonomous quadrotors decided to go for a swim in the Charles River instead of navigating to a waypoint while we were testing it.
