Hello all,

I was in FTC quite a few years ago, and have since been out of highschool about a year. In that year, I joined the Navy and learned a lot more about what we did electrically and physically with our robot that we never even thought about.

Going along those lines, I've bought the stuff to build with the tetrix kit just for fun here where i'm stationed and have fun with my shipmates.

During one suggestion on what to build, someone mentioned a helicopter, or some sort of flying object. In your opinions, do you believe the tetrix kit holds the possibility to make a well designed 'bot (and I mean well designed bot) fly with either a single (apache) or double rotor (chinook) design? Maybe not move around, but hover and look cool?

From what i've seen and read, the only main concern would be weight, and whether the motor or motors could spin a set of rotor or rotors with enough force and speed to pick the thing up off the ground.

And to this point, has anyone tried such a feat? If not, I still want to build things here and make some posts and videos as I go along just to try and see if I can make some magic happen.

Very Respectually,
Tassemet
