#2Sure looks like the little bugger from the Slaughterbots video to me.

#3Looks like a fun project, be interesting to see a video of how well it flies.

#4Does anyone know what kind of battery life can you expect for the suggested components - it seems the linked battery is 380mAh

#5How does this compare to the Crazyflie 2.0? (See: https://www.bitcraze.io/crazyflie-2/).

In terms of hardware it is practically the same. However Crazyflie has its own development while these cheap controllers can work with any standard open source flight software such as Cleanflight, Betaflight, etc. They are also cheaper than Crazyflie, you can have a drone for half the money.

#7The brushed designs have been completely outclassed by the new breed of micro brushless quads. The Hoverbot Nano is one of the best examples of lightweight brushless design.

#8with the recommended parts, minus the camera/vtx combo ($20), your total is roughly $70. for $60 you could get an eachine qx90 which is almost identical.
or you could even get much, much better quality/control out of a brushless build with the babyhawk, which goes for around $100
if you're new to flying drones, i wouldn't recommend this at all

#9When seeing the components the first thing that came to my mind was "outdated", afterwards I saw the article is from 2016.
If someone is interested in a more sophisticated approach he might want to check out the RotorX Atom:

Cheers, that looks very interesting. I'm just wondering what are the main advantages of brushless vs brushed motors for quads. Do brushless let you control the speed of the propellers more easily?
