Another autonomous blimp

Posted by Chris Anderson on May 1, 2009 at 10:15pm

Another autonomous blimp, this one clearly modeled closely on Blimpduino (right down to the same Lego parts for the vectoring servo--hey guys, how about a callout?) but using a PIC chip rather than Arduino's ATmega. Also a simple IR-based remote, rather than RC. Major DIY plus points--the Colorado State team who designed it built their own IR beacons. But because they built it on a breadboard rather than a custom PCB, they're way overweight for the envelope, hence all the extra party balloons!
