Skills	lots of skills
Summary	awesome quadcopter with a lot of sensors

The quadcopter

To give you an idea of what we are planning with our Quadcopter, here is a list of features we want to include:

• gyroscope
• accelerometer
• compass
• ultrasonic range sensors on every corner
• control via wifi
• live webcam stream
• according to a comment with the motors we bought: at 1,3Kg, speed up to 75km/h
• servo to tilt webcam.
• battery measurement through adc -> uart on msp430g2553.
• stm32f3 discovery board as brain.
• raspberry pi for the webcam stream, control and more fun stuff
• gps (in the distant future)
• and lots more!
