Hoverquad R - IAM3D 2019

Hello All!

This is a remote controlled hovercraft called the Hoverquad R. It operates a little different from the average hovercraft in that it does not use an inflatable skirt. It operates using an air-bearing effect to create a frictionless surface to glide on. In addition to this, it is able to rotate about the center of the craft due to the positioning of the propulsion ducts.

This vehicle won 1st place in the IAM3D (Innovative Additive Manufacturing 3D) competition at the 2019 ASME E-Fest North, scoring the highest in every category judged on. Our team was pretty proud of it, so I hope everyone likes our design and concept. This was the first year that the student chapter of ASME at Eastern Washington University has competed in the IAM3D competition.

NOTE: Still collecting the controls-related stuff from the electrical engineering major on our team. We used an Arduino Mega with a custom designed shield to send signals to four RGB LED's, 2 4-in1 ESC's, and was powered t
