Tello Quadcopter Propeller Replacement

Introduction

A RyzeTech Tello is a beginner-friendly quadcopter drone commonly used for school or personal projects. As a budget-friendly option, it is not always the easiest to control and collisions with objects may occur. One of the most fragile parts of the drone is the propeller, which also happens to be one of the most vulnerable during a collision.
