For our first prototype for the landin gear, we dimensioned the end of the drone, then created and tested multiple designs in solid works, to eventully make our final design.
Dimensions of the drone drawn to scale for the landing gear to fit in
First Model of the bottom of the drone armsÂ
The arms of the drone
Second prototype of the landing gear where the top will be inserted and a pin to secure the top
Another design option for landing gear
This designs represents a clip that would go into the slits in the end of the drone arms
For our final design we printed a system where there is a peg that is insrted through the side of the drone, rather then the bottom for more stability
