Check out his code. It’s a joke. His control loop is a naive proportional response that doesnt even account for error let alone interpolate trajectory. Look at rocket.txt and launcher.tx. Especially the “fusion” function. lol. Stay in school kid.

I like to put down peoples achievements to cope too sometimes, though usually not by insulting their code. This kid is likely only able to do what they're doing because their Mom and Dad can afford to buy them the tools (mainly a 3D printer and lots of powertools and other stuff) to live out their hobby like this. I didn't have that as a teen.

But fuck me dude, even with that, he built a manpad in his garage. Like even if his code is ass, that requires drive!

He built a model rocket that fires off of his shoulder out of his home. It’s a cool project, but I think people are right to push back on its purported functionality.
