Mfantsiman Girls’ SHS Robotics Team Builds A Delivery Drone: “Proud Of Them”

• The Mfantsiman Girls' SHS robotics team exhibited their project during the school's 65th Anniversary and Prize Giving Day
• The students gave a detailed explanation of how their innovation works and the components they assembled to build it
• Social media users who saw the video thronged the comment section to celebrate the students for their innovation

The Mfantsiman Girls’ SHS robotics team has made their institution proud after they built a drone with the intention of solving a problem — ensuring the delivery of essential items from the school’s infirmary to their houses.

The students exhibited their project during the school’s 65th Anniversary and Prize Giving Day.

In a video on Instagram, the students explained how the drone works and shared their reasons for developing such a device.

“This is the Mfantsiman Girls Robotics team and this is our delivery drone. So our delivery drone delivers medicine from the infirmary to the various houses in the school,” one of the students said.

Another student in the team broke down the components in the drone and the functions they play in ensuring that the device works seamlessly as envisioned.

“The drone was built on a metal frame and in it are the components. We have the battery which supplies power to the power distribution board. The power distribution board supplies power to the various Electronic Speed Controllers. We have four on the board.”

"The Electronic Speed Controllers also supply power to the flight controller, which is the main component here because it controls the other parts of the drone. So, the flight controller also distributes power to the UPS module for it to be able to work,” she added.

She further explained that the flight controller sends signals to other components on the amount of energy to send to the propellers.

The student added that the drone will move up when the propellers begin to spin. She explained further how they came up with the weight of the drone to ensure it flies smoothly without experiencing hiccups.
