The drones we use are controlled manually; we choose the control board, software and motors ourselves. We can adjust its strength. The drone's engine and control card must be of high quality so that all our movements are accurately conveyed and our image, the signal of our remote control is received correctly. Our next goal is to win the first place in Teknofest. I would recommend those who are interested in drones to take simulation training first.”
