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.

"Would it hold up well in a crash do you think? What sort of material would be best for a crash resistant enclosure?"
"The miniaturization of the original is very nice!"
"Probably one of the stablest outside quads I've seen... very nice!!"
"Very nice... although I think a version with real-time video transmission would probably be more popular.
20km range is impressive though for an airframe of that size."

""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…"
"Looks nice, it'll be good to see how it performs up in Kingaroy's famous winds :D"
