Leaflet Dropper Drone Attachment

grabcad

This is a conceptual design for a leaflet dropper. The release can be triggered by means of manoeuvring the drone. A sharp stop or tilt pulls out the trip lever allowing the doors to drop open. The centre of gravity of the doors should make them swing completely open and not cause any obstruction. I don't know enough about drone capabilities to know what is the best manoeuvring option for release. There would be other options too like rotating the drone on one spot then changing direction of the rotation and allowing the momentum of the carriage to trigger the release. A different mechanism would be required for this of course. These files are not intended to be print ready. Conceptual only. Please excuse my bits of string. I should make a proper knotted string template. If you want to make one let me know and I will try make the time to optimise the parts. I have based it on 150g drone payload. I think some domestic drones can lift that much. Not intended to win the prize either but I would like to see small drones do leaflet drops so feel free to build on this idea.
