Following my love for engineering and building things, I created and designed my own quadcopter from scratch. I used a custom frame, programmed a flight controller, linked a controller and receiver, and made sure all components meshed with each other. I needed to configure the motor, flight controller, electronics speed controller, and frame geometry to all work flawlessly in order to have a successful flight. I picked up a lot of skills on the way, such as learning to troubleshoot the countless problems and resulting crashes that came up. It was demoralizing to fail and have to start at square one after each crash, but the eventual and inevitable success is worth it for me. I also learned how to use a variety of tools such as a soldering iron, voltmeter, and whatever else was needed to make a component work. My dad who works as a technician helped me pick up these skills quickly. Overall, this project taught me the value of learning from mistakes and problem solving.
