Teal Ballista

thingiverse

I think drone flying should be an Olympic event and the Teal sport would be the ideal candidate for events like drone aerobatics, obstacle race and "race and target". My design allows the pilot to fire 5mm plastic pellets using an air compression cartridge released through remote control. The design can hold 100 pellets that can travel up to 50 feet at 185mph. The key to this design is to maintain functionality but also keep the weight to a minimum. The current design will allow one or several pellets to travel approximately 50 feet with 120PSI compression. I am collaborating with a designer so any reward for this design will be shared. Its time to broaden the Teal market.
