ArduCopter makes the Colbert Report!

3689450250?profile=original

Thanks to our friends at Tacocopter, who decided to base their only slightly imaginary robotic food delivery service on the ArduCopter platform, we have now made the big time: The Colbert Report does a whole segment on ArduCopter-powered fictional food transport.

  • I wouldn't sit through an episode of the Colbert Report, even if there's a mention of Arducopter or if you paid me.

  • Could any1 perhaps upload the video on youtube or vimeo? I cant get it working, with proxies or comedy central... Thanks :)

  • Someone should rig a multicopter to carry tacos to get on the show :) . Sadly this hoax has probably brought more public awareness to regulation than any of our attempts.

  • Hey Hey! Thats my arducopter in the photo :) *proud*

  • Sure it was mainly about tacocopter, but the quadcopter image they used says it all (jDrones).

    I saw it on Wed and was amazed they spent an entire segment on it (ad to ad). Sweet. Slow political news day I guess.

    That link should work for us Canadians.

     

  • Robert that's strange, I am in Greece and although hulu is geoblocked the comedy central link works ok. You can try to download it from a torrent website, it is the March 27 episode. I don't post a link because I don't know what the policy of DIYdrones is on this matter (although Comedy Central provide the content for free) but you can just google it.

  • Try using a handy free proxy site such as Hidemyass(dot)com
  • Direct link is also geoblocked.

    So annoying.  At least if there was somewhere I could go to see it legally in Canada...

  • You can watch it in the official website, the direct link to the video:
