Please watch my video where I describe the dream and how the 3DR drones were being used for agricultural applications. Also I'd love to know if you think that the dream that I had is actually a feasible goal for 3D Robotics and the Unmanned Agricultural Vehicles Market. I personally think its a reachable/attainable goal for 3DR, Market, and the FAA!
Thanks for the Feedback,

@ Gary,
I bought this Traxxas E Revo RC Car to turn into a rover, It's great at off road, it's fast, practically water proof, extremely durable and well built. Check it out!
Wilco, will start a new thread.
Well lets make it so! I think four laps might be best, a round mile or about 1600m.
Perhaps if there are standard sports tracks at schools we could have timed races around say the 1/4 mile track. Put it in the T3 make it trust based you have to be honest with times etc. Not an offroad track I know but a measure.
What about on tarred roads, could a hobby rover make 100 miles? (In bits obviously) they have such an advantage over aircraft as I assume they can carry weight. What would be a good frame to start with? I have been resisting traditional helicopters but don't think I can resist rovers.
Last year, they were focusing on the following camera concept. Business plans are known to change.
@Sam Kelly, The book is named Strugatsky's Roadside Picnic? I'll look into purchasing it and reading it. I always enjoy an enlightening book! :)
@Gary, a distance competition would be amazing!! I own a few rovers. I own one made by Brookstone that is really awesome with built in stealth night vision, android and apple apps 2 Way audio and tons more. If you want to design one I would recommend using free CAD software from Solidworks. I know a few online retailers that offer some great rover frames minus the electronics if your interested.
@Joshua, For sure!!! When I get bored in my Autodesk Inventor class I go onto solidworks and work on rover designs. I like 6 and 8 wheeled rovers would be amazing with robotic arm attachments, interchangeable hand pieces for the arm, etc.
Why has nobody started a distance competiton for rovers? I have not played with one yet but am getting ever tempted. There is a vineyard rover in France...
@Sam I am going to show my age, but I am not a number....
