About Me:
Not a beginner to robotics, but a beginner to RC aircraft. Working on both a RepRap to build custom plane parts and the idea of a single board IMU to drive or fly the first itteration. Took plastics engineering and aircraft dynamics back in college, and I do electronics on the side. Industrial motion control is what I do in real life.

"While you want to save the copter, your REAL concern is the DLSR. So, considering the issues with whole copter recovery, why don't you look at the other end? Build an impact resistant (plastic and styrofoam) shell around your DSLR. Mount that into…"
"I had to reread the exerpt again for this to make sense. Normally 802.15.4 based mesh networks work well in the city where they can hop data down the line. This is for more isolated areas, but allow them to use the same technology. The key here is…"
"Same stuff. It's been checked out by USA Reprapers. It's technically a low melting point Nylon."
"Low cost is $25000 ( http://homelandsecuritynewswire.com/single.php?id=8499 ). Remember, DIY drones is filled with technical people. This is about perfect for military use actually. The less complex the better when you're literally under the gun. It…"
"I'm hoping to hear good things about the IDG500. Combine that with an ISZ 500 (or any other gyro out there, really) and you won't need vertical boards any more."
