MAXrotor: Advanced open-source quadcopter. Innovative wire-free motherboard. Easy to build, repair, & upgrade.

MAXrotor

The MAXrotor is a multirotor helicopter, designed from the ground up to be be easy to assemble, fly, repair, and upgrade. Its MAXboard motherboard eliminates complicated wiring, while making it easy to add nearly any feature you could want.

Your support will enable me to finish development (specifically building prototypes, buying and evaluating components and tools, building test aircraft, etc.) so that I can complete and publish the design of the MAXrotor and MAXboard.

What's it good for?

They are fun to fly! Especially when flying with goggles and a live video link (known as FPV). It feels like you are the one flying! The MAXrotor design is a forgiving helicopter to learn on so it's well suited to people who are new to flying.

The MAXrotor (with the MAXstation) was specifically designed for use by the Utah Bomb Squad, so it's a great fit for law enforcement. I've also used it to assist in Search and Rescue operations. Multirotor helicopters excel at aerial photography, videography, and journalism. Its flexible, module design make it ideal for universities, research, and data collection.

This is still a new field and new applications are being dreamed up every day. I'd love to hear what you use it for!
