NAZA-M Lego Project

[gencode]

Just ordered the bricks for my next project.

I will use a NAZA-M for the controller and the Scorpion motors from my from my GAUI
Not sure if it will fly but with the NAZA it should, I ordered the bricks today to give it a try.

All the legos will be glued, just not sure on the weight and if the Scorpions will lift it.

It WORKED!!!!
Its a GAUI Gyro for now till we can the money for another NAZA-M

Very cool! Ideas are coming to mind...

Awesome, my 8 y.o. needs a Lego Copter too now!

Looks great, guess you'll have to land real softly.
Not sure if I'd be comfortable flying that close to the kids

We don't have to land soft at all because its all glued together with CA and the blocks are stacked like bricks, if the legs are too thin we can pop them off and use sold 2x2 blocks or 2x4 instead of these window frames.

We just got it flying last night so today we are gonna make it more stable and clean the glue up so its pretty.

I will say its probably as strong or stronger than the GAUI frame and considering there is now thin board like the DJI its pretty strong there too.
Its way lighter than I thought it would be too.

that is great. congrats. im sure it was a great project for you and the kids.

This has my mind working overtime right now. Legos are pretty strong and glueing the parts together should make it rock solid! Great idea. Plus you can design and make any shape that you want. I like this idea! No more expensive frames, or expensive CAD designs.

 

[Dewster]

I'm thinking camera gimbal, or the self leveling quad copter frame..... thank you for providing a great idea!

While the boys were sleeping I moved the controller board and Rx to the inside and put my extra FPV camera on top of their legos, this is gonna be a lot of fun!!!

I moved my GoPro from my f550, and it still flies great. Had to extend the legs but with a bit of CA glue it took all but 5 minutes.

Dewster, yea, im thinking there is no limit, in many ways its probably stronger than my f550 because the center of this one is a lot more solid and nothing can really "break", just maybe come apart on impact but the LEGOs and centerboards on this one are pretty much unbreakable unlike the DJI one.

Boys you need to wake up before daddy gives you all my toys from my f550 :-(

Here is a new video from the LEGO Octocopter Drone itself using a GoPro

Great! You should parachute a lego-guy now from that copter as next step

I'm impressed! I had the Lego digital designer on my computer for about two years, but never really did anything with it...until now. These flight controllers will fly just about anything. Your video is proof. This idea is like Christmas coming early for me. lol!
