Hi, this is my boot-strapped side project that I started this semester alongside my classes. I'd be happy to answer any questions here.

Thanks for submitting. This should probably be a "Show HN".

Would it be kosher to resubmit with the correct title from the get-go?

This is very cool! We used to have a similar one at the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems at EPFL (http://lis.epfl.ch/) How many people and how much time did it take to design and prototype it?

I'm working on HoverBot with a friend at a different university, but I did all the design and prototyping work on this quadcopter over the course of 2-3 months.

This is really awesome. Did you learn to built quadcopter by yourself or did you got it from your university?

Looks like a nice micro quad. Have you considered sending out some examples for reviewers (Flitetest on YT as an example) ?

It might be worth it marketing wise.

This is cool and I'm tempted. However I was disappointed to see that Quads these days are still using the ESC abstraction; ISTM that there would be much benefit and savings from a tighter integration, or at least a better digital and bidirectional ESC protocol (yes, I did checkout OneShot and MultiShot - not it).
