Lesson: UAV Technology Modeling with EV3

Overview: 
This lesson uses the STEM Robotics 101 EV3 platform to demonstrate UAV aerodynamics and control systems by building and coding an EV3 model of UAV quadcopter.
Objectives: 

Students will be able to:

  1. Build and program an EV3 model of a UAV quadcopter
  2. Demonstrate and explain the need for counter rotating propellers in a UAV quadcopter
  3. Demonstrate and explain the roll of sensors in stability and collision avoidance in a sUAS through an EV3 model of a UAV quadcopter
  4. Build and program an Bluetooth remote control for an EV3 model of a UAV quadcopter system
