Teal Digital Race Gate *Concept*

thingiverse

Ok I get it... this isn't a remix on the Drone and will probably not be considered for the comp, but hear me out... This concept uses 4 Photo Electric Sensors (or Laser for accuracy) to determine if a drone has flown above the gate (or at least one sensor), and triggers a successful flyover. Think of it as a laser ruler that triggers if the drone is within a certain range. The Digital Racing Gate could be used to train people with or without FPV, allowing users to hone their skills in a controlled environment. It can also be conceptually used for time trials, obstacle courses, or just practice, and linked to a phone for even more possibilities. Additionally, (theoretically) multiple racing gates could be hooked up so one will not work without the previous gate being active. Anyway, this was just a fun thought, and I haven't seen anything like it out there... Now, let's move on to the comp: It is a remix of the Teal Drone Body... but not for the drone. The 3D print modification allows the drone to be used in new ways, such as training and racing. Does the 3D print modification allow the drone to be used in a new way? Yes, it does. It enables users to train, race, or practice in various settings. Is the 3D print modification visually appealing? Yeah, it's alright. Is the 3D print modification practical? Very practical and could be used with any drone. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my babbling...
