Custom Drone Prototype

Objectives

Output Description
Custom Built Drones Drones will have a maximum weight of 250g, have a 30min flight time and have front and rear facing cameras.  (minimum 2 drones)
Manual Drone Control Drones will be able to be piloted by a person using a gaming controller.
Autonomous drone control Drones will by capable of autonomous flight with python c++ and Matlab scripts including the ability to pass through stationary window on command. 
Effective collision avoidance Drones will be able to avoid virtual walls, other drones and static objects (During both Manual and Autonomous flight). The drone will be programmed with adjustable collision avoidance, such that an expert and a beginner will have different collision tolerances.    
Thorough Documentation All implementation and tests will be thoroughly documented as to allow continuity and usability for future users/developers
