ASME Innovative Additive Manufacturing 3D (IAM3D™) Unmanned Aerial Racing Cargo Vehicle (UARCV)
Oct 2020 - March 2021
In a team of 5 with UCF’s ASME chapter, we worked together to engineer a drone. This project was very exciting with many moving parts. I was part of the electronics/flight team.
Our team consists of 4 mechanical engineering and 1 computer science majors; freshman, sophomore and juniors at UCF.
The drone had many restrictions on the build and the abilities it must exhibit. In summary, the drone must be able to fly for a total of 15 minutes while picking up and dropping a payload 5 times at specific points on a course.

I have learned quite a bit dealing with the electronics of a drone. We researched all our components. We based our decisions on weight/size, compatibility between parts, highest necessary quality with budget. We had to overcome COVID-19 stocking, shipping, and social distancing issues. I worked with my team to solder and assemble the electronics as well as the chassis.
Our deadline was shortened by more than a month in late January. The competition was also moved virtual, which meant we built a course and filmed our flight.
Results: our drone was tough and survived many crashes with minimal breaks. Our main breaks were the arms and propellers, the rest remained safe. Our payload mechanism did not operate as expected; if we were given more time, we could have printed a functional complaint mechanism. The dimensions were too small to effectively pick up a cube while flying.
