<h2 id="budget"><a href="#budget">Budget</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>There are essentially four big items that you need to budget for:
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="#venue">Venue</a> (0 - 5000 USD)</li>
|
|
<li><a href="#drinks-and-lunch">Drinks and lunch</a> (25 - 50 USD / person)</li>
|
|
<li><a href="#drones-and-parts">Drones and parts</a> (~500 USD / drone)</li>
|
|
<li><a href="#travel-and-lodging">Travel and lodging</a> (0 - 5000 USD)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Additionally you should add an extra ~15% to your budget for overhead:
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Unexpected problems</li>
|
|
<li>Power splitters</li>
|
|
<li>Shipping drones to drone sponsors</li>
|
|
<li>Extra drinks for visitors in the evening</li>
|
|
<li>etc.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>If you want a quick estimate, check our <a href="#example">example budget</a>.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2 id="venue"><a href="#venue">Venue</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Ideally you can find a local company to provide a <a href="/compass/venue">nice venue</a>
|
|
for free.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If you can not find a free venue, you should:
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Look at many different venues and compare prices</li>
|
|
<li>Be prepared to spend 500 - 5000 USD</li>
|
|
<li>Try to get a discount for doing something amazing</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Some venues may also like the idea of people taking photos & videos of their
|
|
venue from positions & angles that are only reachable with the drones.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If you need money to pay for your venue, you need to find
|
|
<a href="/compass/sponsors">sponsors</a>.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2 id="drinks-and-lunch"><a href="#drinks-and-lunch">Drinks and lunch</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>To let people focus on programming the drones, you should provide drinks
|
|
(water, soft drinks, maybe beer in the evening) and lunch.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You can do this in one of two ways:
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Buy food & drinks from the venue: This will most likely be more expensive,
|
|
but it easier to coordinate and some venues will require it.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Recommended:</strong> Buy drinks & order delivery food yourself: This is is
|
|
cheaper and more flexible, but requires a little more work.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Your <a href="/compass/tickets">ticket price</a> should be set to exactly cover the drinks
|
|
and food. Make sure you keep VAT / sales tax in mind when calculating this.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2 id="drones-and-parts"><a href="#drones-and-parts">Drones and parts</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>In order to have a great day, you will want to ensure there are enough
|
|
batteries, chargers and repair parts to provide a smooth experience.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For this reason you want to have:
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>2 extra chargers & batteries per drone</li>
|
|
<li>A few backup drones (20% extra drones is a good number)</li>
|
|
<li>Repair parts</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>While Parrot is selling all drone parts that are required to build a drone
|
|
from scratch, you should only buy these parts:
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Propellers (buy 1 pack for every ~3 drones)</li>
|
|
<li>Gears & Shafts (buy 1 pack for every ~3 drones)</li>
|
|
<li>Adhesive kit (buy 1 pack for every ~3 drones)</li>
|
|
<li>Motors (buy 1 for every ~10 drones)</li>
|
|
<li>Central Cross (buy 1 for every ~10 drones)</li>
|
|
<li>Screws (buy 1 pack total)</li>
|
|
<li>Mounting Tools (buy 2 total)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>You can also buy other parts, but please consider:
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The other parts are very expensive, building a drone from parts costs
|
|
almost twice as much as buying an assembled one.</li>
|
|
<li>Only the parts listed above break frequently in our experience.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Please refer to the <a href="/compass/purchase">purchase</a> page regarding tips for
|
|
buying your drones and parts.

<h2 id="travel-and-lodging"><a href="travel-and-lodging">Travel and Lodging</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Your event should pay travel and lodging for:
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Your overseeing organizer (you need one if this is your first event)</li>
|
|
<li><a href="/core">Core copter</a> members, if one of them wants to attend</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>This is a gentlemen's agreement, so exceptions can be made depending
|
|
on your budget and cicumstances.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<h2 id="example"><a href="#example">Example Budget</a></h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To give you an idea of what the total budget for an event could look like,
|
|
here is an example for a nodecopter with 30 people:
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Lunch:</strong> 30 x 15 USD = <strong>450 USD</strong></li>
|
|
<li><strong>Drinks:</strong> 42 x 15 USD = <strong>630 USD</strong> (including 12 visitors)</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Drones:</strong> 8 x 300 USD = <strong>2400 USD</strong> (+4 existing drones)</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Extra Batteries:</strong> 24 x 40 USD = <strong>960 USD</strong></li>
|
|
<li><strong>Extra Chargers:</strong> 24 x 40 USD = <strong>960 USD</strong></li>
|
|
<li><strong>Repair Parts:</strong> 1 x 200 USD = <strong>200 USD</strong></li>
|
|
<li><strong>Travel + lodging:</strong> 1 x 1000 USD = <strong>1000 USD</strong></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p><strong>Total:</strong> 6600 USD (hard costs) + 990 USD (15% overhead) = <strong>7590 USD</strong>
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This is just an example, but <strong>2500 USD - 10000 USD</strong> is a reasonable ball
|
|
bark for most nodecopter events.
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>But don't be scared, just head over to the <a href="/compass/financing">financing</a> page
|
|
to see how you can pull this off.
