Field notes
The project page traces AMD Labs back to a first-year microcontroller project and says the team began without drone experience. Its technical account names an STM32H743 flight controller, team-written firmware, and separate ESP32 boards for Wi-Fi and the transmitter; a photo caption also mentions a wooden test rig built for safe tuning. The homepage presents the range and cost as project figures, without showing their measurement method.
