Introduction: The Pencil Drone
The aim of this project is to demonstrate that ordinary things can fly. All (or almost all) can fly!
To demonstrate this, I selected objects that can be found in any desktop.
What's most ordinary than a pencil and an eraser? Can a pencil fly?
Yeah! Let's prove it!
Take the things and the tools. Here we go!
