mquintilian commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Kickstarter project for a "Smart-Pod" UAV pod"Why would you need 180,000$ to fund the production of 1000$ pieces of foam? It kinda makes me suspicious. There "ruggedized" airframe looks a radian pro.
What annoys me the most is the deliberate attempt…"
mquintilian commented on Christiaan van Vollenstee's blog post The most silly yet serious protest"1. If you watch the whole thing you'd realize it's not anti drone
2. 3DR robotics(DIY drones) agreed to be in this video.
3. Chris Anderson (founder and in the video) has posted it here himself saying it was a video that he liked."
mquintilian commented on Gabe's blog post Autonomous gas powered heavy lift quadcopter we are calling HLQ"Very cool but even though a gas engine may say it puts out 12.6 HP, they don't put out nearly that amount especially the two stroke gassers. I'd be surprised if the engine there using is able to put out 6hp"
mquintilian replied to John Dell's discussion Naza M vs. APM 2"I just want to put in my feedback as I have used both also on there recommend platforms (3DR quad, F450 flamewheel) using default PI values but I do not have the gps on the Naza

The Naza's stability is a tad better but The Apm…"

It looks like there just generating a way point file and triggering a servo when it reaches that way point like you would when you're using a camera"
mquintilian commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Introducing the new better, cheaper APM 2.5+ kit (with power supply/sensor, enclosure, new GPS)"does the power module only work for the apm 2.5?"
mquintilian commented on jasonshort's blog post Arducopter 2.7 Auto-Flip"hmm. I tried this today with my 3dr quad. It gained altitude correctly and slowly started rolling in the direction to start a flip but it never rolled hard enough for it to go past 90 degrees. Do I need to change some values?"

mquintilian commented on Max Bruner's blog post Sub $300 quadrotor?"a DJI F450 is 190$ for frame motors props and escs. Add a 30$ kk2 board and a 2.50$ bec and you have a very easy to build quad for 220.50.

Giuseppe Galullo commented on mquintilian's blog post Lesson learned: Always remove the propellers when testing!"I 5 years ago, I almost lost a thumb on his right hand.

Though quite brief the Canadian documentary " Remote Control War Zone" Showed clips of the Sparkfun autonomous vehicle competition and briefly interviewed Chris Anderson.
