FIREFLIE
WORK TYPE solo
CONTEXT engn2912u, brown university
TIME 3 months, ~14 hours/week
a spiritual successor to the pointillist quad, fireflie uses a virtual canvas in 3D space to light paint recreations of famous art.
REPORT
a comprehensive detailing of the project is provided in the following report.
additional test documentation and final results can be found further below on this page.

EXAMPLE TESTS
INDIVIDUAL PLANES
with drones in individual planes, the most stable flight is observed. in this test, every trajectory was flown to start and end at the same times. as observed in the red trajectory, a certain set velocity provides more stable flight. slower velocities in the shorter paths cause instability.

TWO DRONES PER PLANE
with two drones per plane, trajectories can be preserved without losing any drones. however, significant downwash effects are observed, causing wavy lines.
