"It's just so interesting to see the stark differences in opinions of DIYDroners/Devs and the corporate/biz people.

"This is lovely! I had asked for a 360 drone here ^^ I saw another 360 spherical drone at CeBIT this year which looked like a cube (2 quadrotors stacked vertically) with 6 GoPros. "
"@John, If you go to LM and see Airbus employees' conversations with contestants, you will probably change your opinion on that. Even if it were for publicity (which btw they didn't get that much of) it would still be very brave and forward…"
"@Rob your point reg. safety is well taken. I shared your feedback with POD's designer, we came up with an idea to address the stability and CG issues as well as safety. I'll post the 2nd revision here later.
About the challenge limitations, I…"

"@martin makes sense. Will test this on OpenVSP to see the effect on CG. It still remains a bit tricky for the hover mode. "
"Thanks for the feedback, again, I'm not the designer but the idea was to keep potentially hazardous parts of the UAV (basically the large props) away from the user during interaction with the drone. For a delivery drone, unlike RC or commercial…"
"@Rob I agree with your point. The forklift idea actually came to us from another friend, but it seemed too inefficient. The current CG is somewhere around the yellow tag on top of the fuselage. One idea to help with CG in hover mode was to bring the…"
"This is really useful, especially if it could have an interactive interface for pre-flight check of the planned route. If elevation data and/or 3D city map is given, with some effort, this algorithm should also be able to find safe(r) landing areas…"
Local Motors had one of their most successful co-creation challenges in the past 40 days with the launch of ACDC (Airbus Cargo Drone Challenge). The challenge started with mostly otherworldly and crazy designs from Local Motors' base automotive…
"@Mark I think the latter is true ;) one benefit of those limitations is that you will definitely see a flying prototype after the challenge. No crazy new technology to be developed. "
"@dwgsparky I think you are being a bit too harsh here. First thing you see if you go to the challenge is the high level of collaboration and community spirit among participants. Most of those people would probably enjoy this process even without a…"
"Wow, it's half the price of SwiftNav Piksi && it's Open Source && most importantly it WORKS! unlike Piksi after 1+ yrs of delayed support for the most common FMU. "
