Full Version: Autonomous Quadrocopter
wow, those are sweet
That is cool but they forgot to tell us he has 1000 hrs flying it and destroyed 100 of them.
Autonomous means that it is doing that itself and there is no "he" with the exception of the nerdy guy writing code on a computer.
That thing is bad ass! I got some friends that are way into RC helicopters they would love this thing! I will have to show them this. Thanks for sharing

Oh. In that case it took the nerd only 500 hrs to learn it.

a good 3-d 2 rotor copter pilot would stomp a mudhole in the computer nerds ass flying it himself, rather than rely on a computer to do it for him.
and yes, they didnt tell us how many crashed and burned.

This one is my favorite.... caused me to buy a quad. Then you realize it take a lot of skill to fly these!
Best Quad Video
BTW he's flying first person....you'll see him wearing goggles in several of the clips.

I dont think you guys are looking at the bigger picture...forget the private uses think about covert military missions. This thing is impressive...
wonder if it would be able to check out the inside of a great pyramid?
