Maybe give him a credit towards the first blackmail payment?
I would consider that but I think you missed the part about him being an ex Navy Seal? He currently travels out of country to retrieve abducted children. I think he has a particular set of skills and I'd rather he use them on someone else!
So does it live?
A bunch of us got the go ahead yest day to design and build a quadcopter at uni. And the university is going to pay for all the parts :-D
He sounds kinda scary. Personally, I like making friends with kinda scary people. Success!
Make it powerful enough to carry a decent camera.
It's definitely going to have video, wireless comms (for video and control), gps, and proximity sensors. But I think the goal is to also have it run with an autopilot.
I'd quite like to mount some kind of nerf type thing on it, too.
Fuck you Kos, stop deliberately spawning Skynet..
I did that on Friday with lego mindstorms ev3.
Yup. It has two bad motors but I have replacements on the way.
I am going to build one myself I think. You will have to keep us updated on the one you are building!
Are you sure it's the motors and not the ESCs?
