About Me:
I'm a final year Electrical Engineering / Computer Science student at Queensland University of Technology, who has always had an interest in how things work, electronics and artificial intelligence. I'm a member of the QUT UAV Outback Challenge 2010 team (SRUAV 2010). In my spare time I'm also working on turning my el cheapo RC Helicopter (a Chinese clone of the E-Sky Honey Bee Micro) into a fully functional UAV. I also enjoy soccer, snowboarding, surfing and the odd computer game.

"Wow... a lot of latency. I certainly wouldn't use this on anything flying."
"Gumstix, Beagleboard, Pandaboard, etc. are all great barebone boards and don't come with any bulky stuff, some even have built-in WiFi which can be handy if you don't need super long-range comms."
"Walkera have come a very long way. I remember my first Walkera RC Heli I bought on eBay.. $200 and pretty dodgy, but they've made massive strides improving their products since then."

"Very cool! I love the custom built remote!"
"Interesting work... but is there a way to apply this practically without a low fitness condition causing a crash?"
"Make sure to keep it hands-free (lol)! Good luck!"
"I think you misunderstand the point of the ducted fans, while they won't work on the moon (there is no fluid atmosphere), they aren't supposed to.

"The miniaturization of the original is very nice!"
"Probably one of the stablest outside quads I've seen... very nice!!"
""HOWEVER nobody cares if the bottle will land intact! Nobody states: the bottle must stay visible after landing. Nobody states: you must not hit closer than x metres to the person, they say 'you must not hit him directly' (this is same as saying…"

The reason that there are real no innovative airframes coming out of China is that there is no incentive for them to do it. Why spend time and money on R&D when you can reverse engineer someone elses design, manufacture it for cheaper and…"

"Considering that Obama is changing the direction that NASA is going in and looking for the free market to offer cheaper ways to get to space, it looks like SpaceX is in the perfect position to take the market leader position in commercial space…"
"So am I right in understanding that in order to have this working on a robot, you need to have windows mobile or CE on it?"
"Wow, that is seriously impressive, I wonder what kind of state update rate that they're running in the OP video, I imagine it would be pretty high."
"I'm pretty sure alot of universities use MicroPilot because they give it to them for free.. and provide free support.
I know if I was offered a solution for free with support I would choose it over the alternatives."
