topic Design Competition — Multirotor in Fusion Design, Validate & Document Forum https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/design-competition-multirotor/m-p/5487193#M305077 Greetings all, I had a thought today that I'd like to do some Fusion design competitions. I figured I'd throw one out there and see if people are interested or not. I have no prizes to offer, I see it as an opportunity to learn more Fusion tools and techniques.    BACKGROUND: Multirotors are remote controlled aerial vehicles that use three or more rotors of equal size for vehicle control. They are used for recreation, video capture, and are very agile. Multirotor parts are available from hobby shops and they can be built in a home workshop. Here is a video: <div class="video-embed-center video-embed"><iframe class="embedly-embed" src="https://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fplayer.vimeo.com%2Fvideo%2F58228595%3Fapp_id%3D122963&dntp=1&display_name=Vimeo&url=https%3A%2F%2Fvimeo.com%2F58228595&image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.vimeocdn.com%2Fvideo%2F404048531-d330dcc592e121f6867bae31111517b0cf6b46f84f66ffd68f52984481442375-d_1280%3Fregion%3Dus&type=text%2Fhtml&schema=vimeo" width="600" height="337" scrolling="no" title="Saint West Aerial Reel" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; fullscreen; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture;" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div> Here are some common layouts: <IMG border="0" src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/151280iAFE89429ACE9BA42/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&px=-1" alt="layouts.png" title="layouts.png" />   REQUIREMENTS:<UL><LI>Must use the required (attached) parts, the Rotor Assembly and the Payload</LI><LI>Must have a minimum of 3 rotors</LI><LI>Chassis should weigh less than 1.0 pounds per rotor.
