Looking for serious UAV teams in Austin, Texas

Posted by Clark Gray on January 3, 2013 at 9:21am

I am looking for a serious group that builds imaginative UAVs in Austin, Texas or anywhere nearby. I am working on a documentary and need to learn as much as I can and possibly film some of your handiwork.

Please get in touch if you are interested in being part of my project.

Thanks,

Clark Gray

Any reason you're focused on Austin? The UAV community is pretty spread out. Also, I don't think there are any COA's in the Austin area so unless they are flying purely for fun (or indoors) they're not flying legally and probably wouldn't be open to filming. If you're looking for interesting UAVs you should checkout the Grasp lab @ UPenn, UMD's Samara vehicle, and Harvard's micro vehicle (Dr. Wood) as a start. There is no shortage of cool and creative unmanned aircraft running around.

If you're confined to the TX area I can try to point you in a few directions.
