Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Inspired by the Parrott A.R. Drone and the possibilities of Arduino

"Does anyone know how to get involved in schemes like this?"
"What new sensor technology will you be using in the Blimpduino?"
"So does Autodesk 123D process the images locally or does it upload to the cloud? Does anyone know how long it takes to process a given amount of images?"
"Given that this is easy to create, are there off-the-shelf versions? Could this be used for Sense and Avoid with other aircraft?"
I just caught the Foreign Correspondent documentary on Drones, Rise of the machines, and I have to say it was quite balanced, it presented all the issues currently surrounding civilian UAVs quite well. It features Chris Anderson and Team…
"@Monroe: Do you have a website for team prometheus? Amateur LEO satellites is something I would be very interested in"
Recently Ars Technica did a piece on software defined radio, using the Phi product as a centre piece, it got me thinking about its applications for drones.Software defined radio basically allows people to write programs which interact with radio…
"Do you know if Iridium have something similar? (And preferably duplex)"
"Could I get more information?"
"How will they be transmitting data back from across the ocean?"
"The wings are simply fold away, they don't represent the amount of buoyant force displaced. If you look closely (although I'll admit the video doesn't display this as well as it could have) the envelope itself is changing shape by being pulled in.…"
"The volume alteration is done by changing the shape of the envelope using nylon string and some internal motors. The envelope material is currently mylar and polyurethane combined together, but I might strengthen that with further testing."
This is an airship I designed for the UAVForge competition, it takes advantage of its ability to alter its volume (and thus its density) to take off and land. It is 6 ft long, however folds down into a rucksack. Some interesting technology I am…
"I might suggest that the 10 km limit you found was simply the distance to the horizon:

This would also explain why it quickly dropped off in signal strength rather than gradually."

"The 3D maps view in the interface, is that using Google Earth?"

When I say real time obstacle avoidance I mean if the UAV is flying towards a tree it can gather the models in time to plot a course to evade it"
