|
|
|
<p>A venue for a NodeCopter event should ideally meet the following requirements:
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p><strong>Flying area</strong>: a separate flying area is great to play
|
|
around with drones, try out the programs and should prevent drones from
|
|
crashing into people.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p><strong>High ceiling</strong>: a flying area with a low ceiling doesn't make a lot of sense
|
|
when there are programmed NodeCopters flying around. Ideal would be a minimum
|
|
height of 4 meters (13 feet).</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p><strong>Great hacking space</strong>: attendees are going to program their drones, so be
|
|
sure to provide an area where they can sit down and hack.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p><strong>Stable WiFi</strong>: it's safe to say that there will be on average a minimum
|
|
of two WiFi-capable devices per attendee (computer, phone, tablet, ...). And
|
|
every drone that is powered on will open its own wi-fi. Be sure your venue's
|
|
WiFi can handle this!</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p><strong>Electricity</strong>: be sure there are enough power sockets and enough power splitters.
|
|
People need to recharge their computers and their phones, and you need too hook
|
|
up the rechargers for the batteries somewhere. You don't want to run out of fully
|
|
charged batteries when people are doing crazy stuff with their drones!</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p><strong>Projector and screen</strong>: for the introductory talk at the beginning of a
|
|
NodeCopter event a projector and a screen are really great. And when it's time
|
|
for the demos most attendes will need a projector to show of what they built.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>

|
</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Pro</strong>:
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The abandoned public swimming baths were <strong>huge</strong>! There was plenty of space
|
|
to fly around!</li>
|
|
<li>The hacking area was totally separated from the flying area: attendees were
|
|
sitting besides the empty pool in which the drones where flying.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p><strong>Contra</strong>:
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p>The electricity in that old building wasn't the best. We essentially had a
|
|
couple of power sockets and needed loads of power splitters to make this work.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p>It was cold since it takes a lot of time and effort to heat up such a huge
|
|
hall at the beginning of October.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>

</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Pro</strong>:
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p>The hacking spaces were really comfortable: you had a choice between
|
|
working at a normal desk or sitting on a couch.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p>Separate flying and hacking areas.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p><strong>Contra</strong>:
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Even though the venue had high ceilings it also had some metal bars on the
|
|
ceilings, which a lot of NodeCopters hit eventually.</li>
