GR0B commented on Johann Van Niekerk's blog post Ultra Micro (hunter killer ) by Chris Allen"I am trying to making something like this (Because I personally think HKdrones are awesome).
Terminator HKdrones are just ducted tri-copters that can tilt the ducts. So I am going down the road of building a Tri-copter then going to add the body kit…"

Work in progress,It currently flies but needs a lot of work still.This is an attempt at a tri-copter using parts I already had or were cheap and easy to get. So far the build is below a $100
GR0B commented on Pete Burnight's blog post Drive 10 Servos using only 2 Arduino Pins"That is cool, and I had just ordered a few more Teensy++ boards to drive more servos"

GR0B commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Kinect SLAM demo"I don't own a XBOX but might have to own a kinect."
GR0B commented on Geoffrey L. Barrows's blog post Arduino optical flow sensor (fun breadboard prototype)"Looks cool, If attaching a lens what would be the expected FPS doing a pixel dump?"
GR0B commented on Marko Kleine Berkenbusch's blog post Quad position hold with mouse sensor - some details"You could try adding a few IR LEDs to help with the lighting/shadow issues. You might run into an issue of the LEDs creating a pattern that confuses the sensor (for this you could try frosting the LEDs with a nail file)"
GR0B commented on Ravi Gaddipati's blog post Optical Flow and New IMU board"Ravi did you try the pinhole? I am interested on how well it worked."
GR0B commented on Ryan's blog post Javelin UAV Test Flight"Very nice. I like the airframe and looked to handle nicely in typical Melbourne weather."

- Hi GR0B,
It looks like you have the same addiction that I have suffered with: Airframe-could-be-better-itis :-)
I have, in the past, kept tearing down, and recreating the hardware, while not going very far with the project as a whole.
I hope my CreepyAVG eventually gets a chance to compete in an event..
Do you have a favourite?
