This is a fast moving turret drone that identities targets(pole sticking out of the ground with red paper mask), tracks their movement( me moving the poles, around the yard) using a camera connected a Jetson Nano that runs YOLOv11(computer vision software) trained using my own custom data set or a data set I find online that fits my needs. This locks onto a target and spins up a flywheel and shoots orbeez at the target. I aim to have the yolo11 model calculate the position, velocity, and acceleration to track and lock onto the target in order to shoot the orbeez.

Currently I’m working on the CAD model of the drone and all its components. So far I’ve completed the full 2D design on paper and have created a bill of materials to work with so I can create an accurate CAD model with all the parts I’m going to use.
