Justin and Joe, of 3DR, doing work.

APM swept the top five spots in aerial, and took first place in two of the rover categories: Tom Coyle in the middle-weight category and Jason Short in the exotic category with his APM Segway two-wheeler.

There is a ton of pictures and video to go through and edit, but I'll start posting things here as soon as they are ready.

    My last run was set for 16m/s which turned out to be a higher current draw than my battery could handle, hence the sag near the water. once I leveled out I get my battery back and did a quick flip for the crowd. Just glad the flip code worked!

    Thanks to Sam for these photographs -- actual chemical photography!

    Somehow, it is still legal to have film developed in CA, or maybe he has to send it across the border...
