About Me:

I'm an Mechatronics instructor at our local community college. I love to play with robots, electronics, 3D printers, whatever. I'm very lucky to work at the college where I'm surrounded by motivated students and lots of interesting equipment.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I'm just received a 3D robotics Y6 with Tarot Gimbal, GoPRO, 3DR ground radio. Its basically a tripped out Hexacopter. The thing is driving my girlfriend nuts.

"Just wanted to tell you all - that I finally got it working tonight. I needed to replace the GPS mount and recalibrated everything. I tested out RTL aswell. I was very impressed. I flew for about 4 minutes. Thanks for the help.
