Hello there! I'm building my own car-drone, but lacking ideas.
Just wanted to know what could be this kind of drone used for? Any practical stuff? Any fun/geek stuff? Tell me what you think! Thanx!

We created a robot that can recognize, track, and follow a specified color object as well as have the ability to avoid obstacles in its way. In a nutshell, we installed an Android device onto a RC car and used an IOIO board to control it autonomously. I hope might help you with some ideas:

The thought had just occurred to me that an autonomous car/robot could take elevation measurements as part of a topographical survey. The GPS readings would not be terribly accurate, given that the onboard AP2 is accurate to a few feet, I think, vertically, but it might be an interesting experiment for someone to try and tackle.
