Profile Information

About Me:
I'm 14 and from Scotland. I have developed an interest in robotics and mechanics i.e drones/ UAV's.

If I'm brutally honest with you (and please don't hate me!), I first heard of a UAV from MW2, in it's case, the MQ-1 Predator.
Tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I'm a complete n00b but hopefully this forum will help me get rid of that :)
