How difficult do you think it would be to make a quadcopter that

build a good race quad that flies very stable first, learn how to fly it properly, then you would need to write your own flight controller program and sensors for it to run on the quad, you would need radar, distance sensors

How well would a LiDAR system work?

>>59862658
I might not make it a quadcopter, maybe an RC car. But the copter seems more fun and interesting.

would need to research, the not bumping into anything is the hard part,
i suggest just building a race quad with 5.8Ghz video feed to some cheap fpv goggles, its fun to build and amazing to fly

To do effectively, hard

Is 3D printing a frame for the drone worth it or should I buy a carbon fiber one from a vendor.

You're trying to do what big companies spend millions doing over the summer?
Are you batman? Cause if you're not batman just buy a drone and learn to fly it well.

3D print + Arduino is all you will ever need

>>59862850
race quad?
No, get a FC+ESC combo board if you can, makes it even easier

>>59862994
My main focus is on creating something that can learn it's environment and navigate it. Sort of like a roomba; it doesnt have to be a drone. I might just use an RC car.

It's been sitting on the shelf for months, I really need to get back into it.
