The part where the drone was shaking brought me back to when I was building a similar drone in Besiege a couple years ago. Ofc, not nearly as impressive but I was proud of it
flying indoors is extremely hard, especially flying slowly. Aerodynamics become even more complicated when close to large flat perpendicular solid objects like walls. Not only there's no GPS for the drone to help maintain itself at a certain space, but you will find your drone always 'gravitating' toward walls. I learned it the hard way when I tried to fly my brand new drone inside my home. Needless to say, I needed new propeller blades.
Have you heard about plastic rollcages? You can mount them at the foot from the rotor and you will have a lightweight but sturdy barrier out of plastic around your rotors. These hit the wall first and have the property that they bounce and ricochet from the walls so your blades stay in one piece😊
Yeah but with inefficient brushed motors. Drones usually nowdays use brushless motors, you have to connect them via their three wires to an esc on the one side and the white signal cable and battery voltage to the other side of the ESC (no additional MOSFETs.) But the rest, yeah, that's pretty standard drone tech

True story... I was showing my new battery powered heli to my brothers and his friends.. this heli had contra-rotating blades with weights on the upper ones for stability reason... I was done showing it off and went down to reach for it off the floor with the controller around my waist... well... lets just say my guts pressed the throttle up to max and my face was the first thing the heli found. ... Had a laugh... and man that hurt...
@@iceneko9170 no it wouldn't have. It was hardly spinning at the time of his hand still being in proximity of the blade. And even then those blades aren't nearly hard enough to actually hurt, even when spun at full speed.
Despite the 500$ price tag this build ended up with, the parts are so accessible and inexpensive in itself that one wouldn't be too worried that it wont operate anymore.
Making a drone out of proper parts for less than $500, has an FPV system so flying it is like a video game, can fly 3-5 minutes on a full battery, hits 60MPH in less than 2 seconds, and reaches speeds of 80 to 120MPH: Even better.
Yes, nothing taking away from how cool it is that this is made out of lego. However practicality, reusability and fun factor in. This is a great demonstration that it could be done but this is a proof of concept, not a DIY replacement for a real drone. This kind of drone would get boring quickly, barely has more thrust than it's own weight and flies for maybe 2 minutes. Spent $120-$200 and get a Tiny Whoop, which gives you that video game feel, gets about the same flight time and won't get boring to fly
The fact that 100 years ago this technology was ludicrous, flying less than a meter off the ground in non free flight only for it now to be buildable for regular people with children's toys given enough time, effort and research.
The secret to landing on a table is to be aggressive and just go for it. Your rotor wash makes a cushion of air that pushes you off the table. Like ground effect on a flat surface, you just have to fly through it with commitment.
Yep, and even more true if you're flying a single-rotor helo, becuse those typically don't have the multi-axis gyro. The Gyro doesn't help you *that* much, though. You really do just have to go for it.
Amdíredhel a normal drone would weigh about the same with carbon fibre frame and brushless motors, handling them can be simple with some youtube videos but they are more dangerous
But thats the fun of it; taking LEGO beyond it's intentions. For real though; I'm pretty sure he does other things; he's got a nice power supply and solid electrical skills.
I think this might be my favorite channel on youtube, the effort put in and the creativity is just amazing. This certainly is a good start in 2020 for this channel.
Engineering. Probably electrical, take a course on control theory. Aerospace or mechanical could work too, make sure you take an additional circuits course if you go that route. You'll be set to build something like this. Lot of work required though!
Automation and robotics. That's my course. They didn't show us how to do it with Lego but I've built similar products with the help of non-toy based materials.
Nice video, makes us realise how hard it is to just "lift" a drone, and how company have acquired knowledge over time. When we see these 4 rotors drone they first seem "easy". It's good to see that there is always an hidden difficulty. Thanks for showing us this!
Exactly, the amount of work required to make this 'toy' is mountainous, the angles, the force, the balance, looks, safety and cost of making is just a few of many things people have to take care of to give us this 'toy'
it's even harder when done out of lego. typical quadcopters (which this is. It cannot fly on it's own so isn't a drone technically) are made out of VERY rigid frames. Legos, as a consiquence of needing to come apart, are not. So him managing to find PID values (those numbers he was tuning when it first lifted off) for a quad with a frame that bends and changes it's own lift profile with changing thrust is pretty impressive. That's also why it looks to be wandering around so much. The accelerometer can usually keep that under control once you get it dialed, but a lego quad with frame flex is asking a bit much of it.
Lolol I rate this comment original/10 I think I figured why Lego bothered to make a separate Lego Technic component series instead of labelling them say, an existing line and slap on an advanced suffix like 'Lego City+' Example: Lego City Lego Technic Lego Technic just simply don't have y in it, when you finish that Lego Technic build you don't end up asking why did you put your effort in building it

True story... I was showing my new battery powered heli to my brothers and his friends.. this heli had contra-rotating blades with weights on the upper ones for stability reason... I was done showing it off and went down to reach for it off the floor with the controller around my waist... well... lets just say my guts pressed the throttle up to max and my face was the first thing the heli found. ... Had a laugh... and man that hurt...
@@iceneko9170 no it wouldn't have. It was hardly spinning at the time of his hand still being in proximity of the blade. And even then those blades aren't nearly hard enough to actually hurt, even when spun at full speed.

Making a drone with Lego parts : 500$
Satisfaction of making something fly : priceless
Making a drone out of proper parts for less than $500, has an FPV system so flying it is like a video game, can fly 3-5 minutes on a full battery, hits 60MPH in less than 2 seconds, and reaches speeds of 80 to 120MPH: Even better.
DakotaSkies FPV yeah but... LEGO
Yes, nothing taking away from how cool it is that this is made out of lego.
However practicality, reusability and fun factor in. This is a great demonstration that it could be done but this is a proof of concept, not a DIY replacement for a real drone. This kind of drone would get boring quickly, barely has more thrust than it's own weight and flies for maybe 2 minutes.
Spent $120-$200 and get a Tiny Whoop, which gives you that video game feel, gets about the same flight time and won't get boring to fly

@Wong Apple kw There's no labour cost seeing as this was done in free time by the look of it. And free time is (unsurprisingly) free.
The fact that 100 years ago this technology was ludicrous, flying less than a meter off the ground in non free flight only for it now to be buildable for regular people with children's toys given enough time, effort and research.

The secret to landing on a table is to be aggressive and just go for it. Your rotor wash makes a cushion of air that pushes you off the table. Like ground effect on a flat surface, you just have to fly through it with commitment.
Yep, and even more true if you're flying a single-rotor helo, becuse those typically don't have the multi-axis gyro. The Gyro doesn't help you *that* much, though. You really do just have to go for it.
I really like how you go through each step using trial and error! I aspire to be an engineer and your videos inspire me!!
I dreamed of this as a child, but never did I think it was actually possible.
I had similar ideas with lego as a child. Child imagination is very important :)

Imagine this man's ability if he wasn't restricted to lego
Well, your thinking is slightly flawed.
LEGO is lightweight, made out of plastic and incredibly simple to handle.
Amdíredhel a normal drone would weigh about the same with carbon fibre frame and brushless motors, handling them can be simple with some youtube videos but they are more dangerous
But thats the fun of it; taking LEGO beyond it's intentions. For real though; I'm pretty sure he does other things; he's got a nice power supply and solid electrical skills.

Woah great drone from Lego Technic. Hehe, I will try out how does drone work like real hovercraft or hovercar? I will buy it.
"ok so it has lift, it still won't be able to fly without a gyroscope and a... uh... Oh Ok"
To be honest, a drone CAN fly without a gyroscope, it'll be VERY unstable tho, and balancing would be manual

had same response in mind but for what its worth, this is amazing :D
Maybe control with your brain rather than a controller with your hands

Guess ya ain't goin' to college buddy.
Engineering. Probably electrical, take a course on control theory. Aerospace or mechanical could work too, make sure you take an additional circuits course if you go that route.
You'll be set to build something like this.
Lot of work required though!
@@wbhuglilnbnkreuiw do you know if there are any ways to learn this for free?
Automation and robotics. That's my course. They didn't show us how to do it with Lego but I've built similar products with the help of non-toy based materials.
@Hansi the humanoid sturmhaubitze all he did was put together components, not thoroughly explain how they work and why you need them
Fantastic. Your persistence is impressive. What a great and fun project.
Nice video, makes us realise how hard it is to just "lift" a drone, and how company have acquired knowledge over time. When we see these 4 rotors drone they first seem "easy". It's good to see that there is always an hidden difficulty. Thanks for showing us this!
Exactly, the amount of work required to make this 'toy' is mountainous, the angles, the force, the balance, looks, safety and cost of making is just a few of many things people have to take care of to give us this 'toy'
it's even harder when done out of lego. typical quadcopters (which this is. It cannot fly on it's own so isn't a drone technically) are made out of VERY rigid frames. Legos, as a consiquence of needing to come apart, are not. So him managing to find PID values (those numbers he was tuning when it first lifted off) for a quad with a frame that bends and changes it's own lift profile with changing thrust is pretty impressive.
That's also why it looks to be wandering around so much. The accelerometer can usually keep that under control once you get it dialed, but a lego quad with frame flex is asking a bit much of it.

Lolol I rate this comment original/10
I think I figured why Lego bothered to make a separate Lego Technic component series instead of labelling them say, an existing line and slap on an advanced suffix like 'Lego City+'
Example:
Lego City
Lego Technic
Lego Technic just simply don't have y in it, when you finish that Lego Technic build you don't end up asking why did you put your effort in building it
But didn’t a man fall into the lake in LEGO City..?
