About Me:
Computer sciences student, specializing in artificial intelligence and pattern recognition. In 2012 I created Quebec City's first FIRST Robotics team at Jean-de-Brebeuf high school.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I've been interested in robotics since elementary school. UAVs were always one of the most interesting fields of robotics to me because of the science-fiction I constantly read in high school, and a fascination for RC aircraft. in 2011 I decided I needed to build my own UAV. My current platform is an FPV quadcopter running arducopter. Check out my photos to see it!

"Jack: Tricopter, of course!"
"Peter, it's not just a safety issue, it's an image one. Drones are already a sensitive thing to the public at large who only know them from military applications and privacy issues. As hobbyists, researchers and developers, we need to be…"
"Looks like the new kickstarter policy protected you and your potential customers in the end."
"As for soldering practice, buy a bunch of electrical wires (the ones with many small wires inside, not the one-piece solid ones... I forget what the english word is) and make the kids solder them together, to get a feel of how the solder sinks into…"
"Those are very interesting points Paul! Let's hope this theory of perspective can help them better grasp the world around them.
Have you ever flown FPV yourself? The experience is very interesting. The first time you realize you have control from a…"

"Hey! What a surprise to see my name in that list. I'm honored to have my video in that kickstarter. I just wish you asked me for a better quality version!
As team leader for a local FIRST robotics team (Go go team 4167!) for 2 years now, I've always…"

"I was looking for a toy like this to have fun indoors for a while... I had an mSR before but it's broken and discontinued... and the new model is a tad expensive.
I just ordered one :)"

"Check my profile, I have a few FPV quad videos. If anything interests you, message me and I can send the raw footage."
"Félicitations Danny! Je me doute que ca doit pas toujours être facile, mais moi aussj je suis conte t d'avoir un fournisseur de ce côté-ci de la frontière. Je brose toujours pleins de trucs sur mon quad alors jaime bien voir les pièces arriver…"
"Any plans of going public? I'd buy stock :P"
"Well, you can probably understand the misunderstanding if you look at the image (and content) of your first blog post and compare it to this one's. Oh but you deleted it that first blog post, so it's not really a problem anymore, is it?

"This is very, very interesting. I'd love to work on heterogenous swarms."
"Ok, so I continued working on the concept a bit, but I started realizing I was designing a lot of custom parts. So, in an attempt to lighten the load on the machinist's side, I decided to try making most the frame out of T-slots. At this point I…"
"I was glad to see your table was always pretty much flooded with people, Dany! I heard that there was more attendees than expected, so that bodes well for the future of this event. If you're still looking for a pilot for next year, just ask me ;)

"I'd recommend looking into the reprap project's electronics.
The generation 7 hardware looks pretty good, works via USB (this will preclude the use of Linux CNC as control software), and is optimised for DIY. At the very least it looks like an…"
