Congratulations to Mark Griffin and his EasyStar/Paparazzi set up for not only winning the T3-3 contest (break Stanford's UAV altitude record) but beating the record by an astounding 2.8x! In total four people broke the record, which is awesome. Also note that two of those four were using Krzysztof Bosak's new Flexipilot autopilot, which is a great tribute to the qualities of that. Congrats to all!
The first prize for this contest will be a new Bladestar semi-autonomous rotary-wing toy. The three runner-ups will win a DIY Drones servo OptoCoupler.
I'll be announcing the full details of the next T3 contest, T3-4, tomorrow, but the short form is this: a photo stitch from 400' of 1 square km. In other words, a single image that is an aerial view of an 1 km^2 area, but all taken from 400 feet (sorry about mixing imperial and metric units!). We will be moving to a six week contest cycle, so you'll have till the middle of Jan to do it. Extra hardship points for those who include snow!
