    Abstract: An aerial vehicle is includes a wing, first and second rotors, and a movement sensor. The first and second multicopter rotors are rotatably coupled to the wing, the first multicopter rotor is rotatable relative to the wing about a first lateral axis, and the second multicopter rotor is rotatable relative to the wing about a second lateral axis. Each multicopter rotor is coupled to each other multicopter rotor, wherein the multicopter rotors are restricted to collective synchronous rotation relative to the wing between a multicopter configuration and a fixed-wing configuration. The movement sensor is coupled to the multicopter rotors, wherein the movement sensor is positioned to rotate relative to the wing when the multicopter rotors rotate relative to the wing between the multicopter and fixed-wing configurations.

    Abstract: A simulated firearm includes a body, a camera, a memory, and a processor. The body has a handle, a trigger, and a barrel portion. The barrel portion defines a shooting axis. The camera is coupled to the body and aligned with the shooting axis. The camera is configured to capture an image in response to actuation of the trigger. The memory is coupled to the body and stores marker data corresponding to at least one target marker. The processor is coupled to the body and configured to determine whether a portion of the image captured by the camera matches any one or more of the at least one target marker.
