Designing and Building a Drone: The Hardware Side A look at what actually goes into building a drone from the hardware up. We'll cover the core components, the frame, motors, ESCs, flight controller, props, and power, and how they come together into something that flies. We'll walk through the design choices behind a build: picking the right parts, how they interact, and the trade-offs between weight, power, and stability. Good for makers and students who want to understand what's under the hood before they start building their own.
