Mavericks UAS

A bitter truth:

The current Engineering in India does not give students the right practical education. This kind of education only helps them with theoretical questions but often lacks behind when it comes to practical applications. The whole idea of engineering is to make human life better , to mould the world of the emerging tomorrow, to build up on ideas that are confined on sheets of paper. Well MavericksUAS is one of those teams that emphasizes on doing the exact very thing. At Mavericks we strive to bring each and every member to the levels of the real world engineers capable of understanding and tackling any real world problem. In today's modern times drones or UAVs have become the recent fad but what people often tend to miss out on is the research that goes on the background. There are so many challenges which would leave even the most experienced person baffled by it's very own complexity. This is because it's a new emerging field and it's a field that requires expertise in multiple disciplines.Which is exactly what we try to teach at MavericksUAS. We want to bring together a group of individuals who can help to make the world a better place. People who have hidden talents and need a proper platform to showcase them. MavericksUAS is that very platform. Today the team is a 20 people strong strong mix of senior and junior members. The senior team comprises of the minds behind the inception of the project and the junior team are of course the new budding engineers looking to gain knowledge and experience in this wonderful world of drone building.

The teams have made their own journeys to the place where they have reached today and they both have their own views.

An experienced senior perspective:

We put in years of hardwork, spent countless nights brushing up and perfecting our knowledge, our skill-sets and it all finally paid off. On 28th March , 2018 we created our first autonomous transition VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) . It is a product of sweat and tears , a project which took two years in the making . It still stands as a reminder that it is just the beginning and that our best is yet to come. Now that we have reached this point we can do so much more. Our little team of the core 4 has now increased to a rocking team of 20 members . Along with them we shall prove to the world that MavericksUAS is one of the finest teams of our college.

A fresh junior perspective:

Drones are no joke. There's a whole lot of technology that goes in the making to get them to fly. This type of project requires dedicated people ,people who are willing and are able to take in a whole lot of information while implementing it to make their very own product. Which is why these set of juniors were selected to become a part of the team after a tough screening process. These are the best of the best kids who have hopes in their eyes and the sheer will to leave a mark on the world. They have now become part of the Mavericks family and are learning the ways of how this family functions. Soon they will be taking over the team and the legacy left behind by the seniors , building their own upgrades and winning competitions all over the world.
