Sensor Stack Idea

@Conall Kingshott

I would like something we can clip on to an arm in a known location that can rest on the body of the drone in transportation so that we don’t need to unplug it to get the drone in a car. This should have:

  • Optical Flow

  • Lidar

  • $200 CV Camera

  • FPV Camera facing down
