Challenge Description:

navair-suhsd-quadcopter_fSUHSD high school students have been tasked with building their own quadcopter following a common kit of parts. Each team 3D printed all the mechanical elements of their quadrotors. T
he students have been mentored and guided through the process by engineers from Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) and a school advisor.

All participating teams (six high schools) will face each other in a Challenge that involves picking up and dropping off an item (payload) and completing an obstacle course. This type of aircraft is also referred to as Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS).
