Note: this has now been superseded by the Quadcopter v2!
Our quadrocopter is totally custom with a chassis which was printed on our RepRap Mendel. The development process was particularly quick with just 2 weeks between conception and its maiden flight! Was also exhibited at the element14 stall in the UK Maker Faire 2011.
