Create your own test of skill for indoor quadcopter flying. Print the parts for popular obstacles like knock down targets, the \"hand of time\", and various gates ... including the dreaded \"mail slot\" challenge.

Our little group gets together in a conference room and uses the Blade Inductrix to fly timed obstacle course runs setup on the tables in the room. Usually we set up 10 or so 'challenges' and do three timed rounds. Best course time and best total sum of three times wins bragging rights.

Here is an example course:

\"Diamond of Death\" Gate which has an opening of 15cm (6\") wide by 15cm (6\") tall or so. Use two square clip feet to hold it up.
Tall 'pylon' 30cm (12\") tall, which you must fly around (either direction) 360 degrees. Use circular clip base. You must NOT knock it over!
20cm (8\") tall knock down target. You must knock it over, or push it off the table. Use diagonal clip base, plus base, square base or rectangular base - depending on how hard you want it to be to knock over.
\"Hand of Time\" you must push the 'hand' around 360 degrees either direction. For extra fun, use a hand which is about 1/2 the width of the table and place the round base in middle of the table. Coming in and out of ground effect makes this a challenge.
More knock down targets, pylons to circle, .etc.
The \"mail slot\" challenge. Similar to first gate, but with a rectangular opening with the rectangle of foam taped to the top edge as a hinge. Currently using 16cm wide by 10cm opening.
Land on top of a box. Box is about 30 x 30 x 30 cm or so. (1 foot square)

Post-Printing

Add some foam or foam board strips

Foam is 1/4\" (6mm) fan fold foam sheet (or poster board)

If you need to alter the foam width or use cardboard, just edit the OpenSCAD file and change the constant for foam thickness.
