Breakthrough

After nine hours in the robotics lab today, we had a breakthrough and the quadrotor can control its height on its own. It still does so rather aggressively, but with a bit of tweaking and fine-tuning that can be fixed.

We're planning to film some of our next crashes because they are hilarious to watch. We had our most violent crash to day when we tried to switch on our pitch and roll controller during flight. The quadrotor flipped over and headbutted the ground at high speed. Good thing it has a geodesic shield.
