  • I am adding a articulating mount with a go pro camera and a L.E.D. spotlight for nighttime missions.I also have

    a wild thumper being modified for the apm 2.6 system.

  • Well now, at last a project with a noble purpose. You should start a sponsored project - I'll take one:)

    The reason I asked - I have a 6 wheeled rover that I need to scale up in the near future - about the size of Floopy. Again, thanks for sharing.

  • Developer

    That's really great.  We don't get to see too many Rover video so great to see it's progress!

  • I do have an application,Floopy will deliver a cold one to me.(lol).

  • Very nice, thanks for sharing. Do you have an application for Floopy?
