What it can do
Written by Robotheca from the project's documents.
- Coaxial thrust vector control drone that balances itself and angles to a desired set-point by vectoring its thrust.
- Demonstrates control capabilities relevant to amateur rocketry, similar to a rocket with a TVC system.
- Documentation and hardware/software sources are provided as a reference rather than a step-by-step build guide.
