Re: [FTC]: 3 words.
Why not just buy a quadcopter. Maybe this is some market research for aerial robot kits to design and sell lightweight carbon fiber componanets and drivertrains for build your own quad/hex/octo copter sets...

YES. To me, autonomous is very undervalued in FTC, even though the whole premise of real (professional) robotics is to create a robot that can move autonomously with sensors and complex programming.

Heck, the definition of a robot even specifies that it moves "automatically."

Our team liked FLL because programming and sensors could actually get you points. It seems in FTC it's all about building a reliable mechanism and being a good driver.
