About Me:
I'm wanting to get into programming and building UAVs in that order of importance. Even though I will have to build one first. I'm in my senior year getting a CS degree, and love the various applications that UAVs can accommodate.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I am mainly interested in planes maybe VTOL. The idea of helicopters just seems like they move too slow and don't have the endurance.

"Some people have said that one of the reasons the US was slow to adopt and even opposed to drones is the fact that Josepth Kennedy died during this program. The German's used boats with long control line tethers and a bunch of explosives as a ocean…"
"@Brian:
The documentation is there... It's called source code, diffs, changelogs, and checkin logs. I have been able to follow this project even though I haven't had the time to fly for months. Lots of sim time though. It takes a lot more than just…"

"I can't wait until cops get their own and the epic air jousting that will occur. Although maybe I just live in a city that has really bad cops so I expect them to do stuff like that. "
"Sweet flying flash bang!"
"The court proceedings on this are going to be interesting. I would hate to be that public defender. "
"The pictures aren't really good enough to prove one way or another what that is. A number of organizations have shown that they have the technical ability to produce something like this with a little effort. If it is US it wasn't produced in country…"
"Lets see how fast the FAA smacks this down if it really does cause a problem with existing GPS systems. Then just make sure that there is a connection between 15kW towers and cancer and Mr. subprime is SOL.

"@Krzysztof I assume the problem with stiff and soft is that the rods just ram through the soft material?"
"Nice. At some point I'm going to need to do something like this."
"I'm still waiting for Afghans to try to make flying IEDs. Note the try. Although a claymore is only 3.5lbs..."
"EDIT:
Yeah 10 min... You would need two *and* plenty of batteries for a Swat situation. I have talked to swat guys that say surveillance can last for hours to days before swat actually goes in."

"The trippy one that i realized in hs is the fact that the wheels are giant gyros and keep a bike very stable."
"@Sgt Ric: I think it has to do with the rotational energy stored in the tires. I don't think the air has anything to do with it. But if the tires are spinning and the brakes are hit wouldn't it put some torque on the vehicle pushing the nose down a…"
"Yeah but a computer w/o tach readings might do it."
"Controlling pitch in the air? Wow although the torque would probably do it enough to let you adjust things a bit. Just don't blow the engine in mid air."
