Flying tank? Inventor creates real-life Transformers robot with drone tech
SMRTR summary
A hobbyist inventor, Michael Rechtin, has developed a vehicle that transforms between a tank and a quadcopter drone using a custom linkage system. Built mainly from 3D-printed parts with carbon fiber components, it weighs over 7.2 pounds and is controlled by specialized software. While the tank mode functions well, the flying mode needs refinement due to weight issues. Rechtin has made the design open-source for further development.
