Sophia Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Creepy and cool at the same time. I presume they are engineering students so soon they will be making them create formations to get beers out of the fridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 You can get a top of the line FPV setup one for a relatively reasonable amount, waypoints, GPS, stabilization, control through a laptop etc. This one here is only around $4K US.

Squirt Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 What about an AR drone? They're coming out with an AR drone 2 which seems pretty neat. Control with your iDevice. Video camera which lets you see where it's flying, take pictures ect. All via wifi which the device sets it up. Has some games you can play with it too. 50m range. Only about $500 vs the $4K one Ira suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 That is awesome A friend of mine made a quadrotor for a uni project, they had it all programmed with FPGAs and sensors everywhere so it could fly around without crashing into anything.. He showed me this video as a good practical use of quadrotors with cameras on them.. http://vimeo.com/15867732 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
