Update: it seems that most of the competition flight was not in autonomous mode. I'll be contacting the DelFly II team to get the facts right.

we (the DelFly team) are not in the office for a few weeks so it will be hard to contact us. The pole racing was done many autonomous (we had to little preparation time to do it completely autonomous, and only took over when it almost hit the pole). In this video 1 minute of autonomous flight is show in a normal room http://www.youtube.com/user/microuav#p/u/3/fuuxjWgr3Qg .

entering the house was done on goggles like this video: http://www.youtube.com/user/microuav#p/u/5/cuqObbd15u8

2 years ago in 2008 we did the pole racing completely autonomous. We put a line of A4 paper on the ground. the DelFly II had to follow the line. like this video but not in a oval but in a figure of 8 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOIqGtA7hc8

This wend very well on the competition so this year we want to do it without aids.

In 2011 the IMAV2011 will be in Delft again. www.imav2011.org will be undated soon. Some pictures of Emav2009 in delft check http://www.emav2009.org/
