"I chatted with one of their promoters about volume pricing two years ago @ MakerFaire. They astonished me by asserting that there would be *no* volume pricing for the Edison.
I responded, "Well, good luck with a board that nobody would consider…"
"This looks like a great product at a very competitive price, but...
Dude. That voice-over is going to kill your campaign. Everything else seemed well polished, but that alone made me have second thoughts about your viability and prompted me to…"
"@Muhammad: Yeah, that's what I thought, which is why I'm scratching my head as to why this guy couldn't maneuver his quad to a more suitable landing spot while it auto-descended. To me, it looks like it entered RTH, but he couldn't (or didn't know…"
"Ok, so I'm a little unclear here. Does DJI really lock you out of controlling your quad when it's on a low-batt RTH? Couldn't he have canceled the mode and regained control, or at least regained pitch/roll authority?"
"I'm with Rob. Lay off this girl's appearance. That's not part of this conversation. If someone is smoking hot, then that would give them no more and no less right to privacy than this woman has. Keep the circle-jerking on 4chan."
"I'm *really* sorry for all this text. I feel like what I have to say is relevant, however.
First off: I read through your advanced drone page and have already referenced friends to it. Fantastic work there, Gary. I think that a centralized…"
"Awesome!!! A good design / build log in this area will probably do huge things for the hobby. Just be sure about what you want from the project before you hit post!
Using the OSH license may help a little here, but if you plan on selling your…"
"Crud. Shows what I know. I had meant Energizer e^2 123 batteries. If I recall, they either have a lithium alloy or pure lithium inside. I also thought that LiPoly was "poly" because of the polymer electrolyte between the metal electrodes."
"Wait, wait... two batteries blew up on you today? Was the second one already ballooning as caused by your charger, or was it triggered entirely by you punching a hole in the packaging? Because depending on how things went, you might want to look…"
"A good friend of mine was learning to fly a TRex 600 I think when it crashed. The blades snapped off and cartwheeled through the air to embed into the door of his barn... right next to his young daughter who had been watching from a distance. …"
"Amen brother. Raspberry Pi is a good example of a system w/ the processing power, but I don't think that's a model of what could be used to create a product, due to the unique supply conditions and very low margins it uses. The ASICs with the…"
"The spirit and power of Open Source is that you can quickly get a design working and to market if you choose. The key is that any innovations you make must be posted if they include or use (with some exceptions) any other Open Source projects.…"
