The test stand is designed to keep a Crazyflie drone in place while still letting it roll, pitch, and yaw. The test stand consists of three parts: the stand, the mount, and the electronics.
# The Stand
The main body of the test stand sits on three legs allowing a drone to be mounted to a sensor in the center to test yaw rotational values and has weighted legs to allow it to sit on its side for pitch and roll measurements.

# The Mount
The yaw drone mount allows the drone to sit on top of the stand and rotate freely on a rotational sensor.

The pitch-roll drone mount allows the drone to be mounted to the test stand when it is on its side and keeps the drone's center of mass on the axis of rotation.
