Use the Crazyflie as a flying puppet in theater?
Posted: Thu Sep 29, 2016 11:10 am
I would like to swarm 10 - 20 Crazyflies decorated as aquatic sea creatures (prob Jellies) and send them over a live audience in pre-programmed 40 sec flight.
The theater uses smoke machines and a wide variety of lights, which I would have a lot of control over. The ceiling clearance is minimal.
I am a seasoned javascript / Arduino programmer, new to c++ & python but easy learning curve. Been using the intel Edison as my primary platform for the past few projects.
Never touched a drone of any sort.
I only have a mac available to me for this project my linux, and windows machines are overseas at home.
I have about 1 month to dedicate full time focus, so my questions are...
1. Would this be an insane project for me to consider?
2. Has anyone ever done this?
3. Would I need to locate a London, UK local pro to accomplish this?
4. If I were to do it how many modifications will I need to make? (so I can figure out a proper cost estimate)
I dream of a world that I don't need 20 puppeteers to create a under the sea theme!!!
Thank you in advance for any responses.
