Last year I started building an intelligent ski-course, which was basically a set of buoy drones that would swim to there positions in a public river to form a ski course. This would then allow tons of interesting possibilities such as easy setup and effortlessly changing the shape of the course. Most of the project is documented on hackaday.io. As I am a very eager slalom skier in dire need of a course I would very much like to finish this project. However, I find myself without time working on finishing my PhD. I will one day restart my efforts, if anyone is interested in developing the project from where I left it, you are more that welcome, just keep me in the loop.
The state of the project:
- Most of the code has been written.
- The electronics for the buoy and base station has been mostly finalized
- 3D printed parts needs to be revised
- Propulsion system needs to be tested
