Overview
This was my first experience with the Bitcraze Crazyflie 2.1. I built the demo for the Intelligent Autonomy Lab (now the CoCuRo Lab) to show prospective Ph.D. students during their visit to Yale.
One weekend
The lab had just opened, and the Crazyflies were delivered on a Thursday. Over the weekend I built and calibrated the swarm, learned how to fly them, and programmed this demo so it was ready to run on Monday morning.
How it works
Each drone's position is hard-coded so that, viewed from the right angle, the swarm forms a "Y".
My role
Solo project: built and calibrated the drones, and wrote the demo.
