What If Your RC Drone Could Change Shape Mid-Flight?

[Kalpesh Borle]

Imagine a drone that could change its shape mid-flight to adapt to different tasks or environments. For example, what if it could transform from a quadcopter into a fixed-wing drone for longer flights or change into a more compact form for navigating tight spaces?
1. Feasibility- How feasible do you think it is to build such a transforming drone using Arduino? What type of actuators or mechanisms would be required to allow it to change shape smoothly?
2. Design- What would be the key design elements for making the drone modular yet stable enough for flight? Any tips on lightweight materials or engineering solutions?
3. Challenges- What potential challenges do you think we would face in controlling the transitions between different flight modes? How can we mitigate issues like stability or power consumption?
Anyone here have experience in building modular drones or similar transforming robots?
