Re: [FTC]: 3 words.
We were talking about trying to make a flying robot earlier this year, we started making prototypes but it seemed like the gears would make it to heavy because we would need to gear up the motors like crazy. It would be more like a helicopter, and if we used the light weight plastic gears then I think it would have better luck.
