Hello danijeri,

Thank you for reaching out to the community regarding your issue.

I am not sure if I completely understand the problem you are facing, but it sounds like you may be experiencing unusual tracking when you try to track more than 4 quad copters. It also sounds like you may be using only 4 markers for each of your quad copters.

You can start by using more than 4 markers for each of your rigid bodies, as this will allow more variation in the marker patterns. You will want to be sure that you are using asymmetric patterns to prevent the rigid bodies from flipping unexpectedly. If you also make sure that each of your rigid bodies is unique, this will help to prevent them from being mistaken for one another.
