HAT is a small quadcopter that is designed to be lightweight, versatile, agile and fast. It has a variety of frames for use in both outdoor and indoor environments. It is manufactured out of either wood or 3d printed PLA plastic depending on what tasks it must accomplish.

HAT was designed to achieve a series of tasks ranging from an agility course to carrying a weight across a field. It was created using Rhino and Fusion 360 to be as light and fast as possible. These goals were achieved by using cutouts that reduced weight while not reducing the overall strength of the frame. The other components of the drone were standardized; however, they were tuned through Betaflight to ensure quick and stable handling. HAT is designed to be used by hobbyists and people who want a strong drone for small competitions.
