"What gimbaled camera system are you guys using? It looks great by the way, nice work!"

"Does anybody know which single board computer they're using?"

"Is that a wireless flash trigger? If so, what does the added IC do?"

"Very impressive, I like how it's programmable straight from Simulink, I imagine that can speed up control algorithm development quite a bit. Do you have a rough estimate on the price of the hardware?"

"Ok, fair enough :) It would be even more impressive (and funny) if they did actually use Basic stamps..."

"Very impressive! Although I don't think they used a Basic Stamp for this, but they did mention that some of the calculations were done on the ground and commands transmitted wirelessly at 20Hz to the helicopter."

"The reason only one leg was against the tail during runup was done to not block the camera's view, and it was firmly held by the wings during that test, normally both there would be a leg in front of each side of the tail.

We have since solved the…"
