I crashed my plane doing a manual land on run 1 and stripped an aileron servo. Then I tried to fly it between run 1 and two to test it after the repairs. Big mistake for not catching the broken servo. The plane never had a chance and keeled over during launch wrecking the motor and nose. :( I could've been a contender!
Nice vid!! In case anyone wants to view my near death experience :) at the hands of Team 0x27's robot a friend caught some hilarious action shots :D Lots of other great pics of various 'bots she took --> 2012 Sparkfun AVC photos

Official Sparkfun results are here. Congrats again to Pat (aka Overhead) and team ArduPlane for the victory!

Big difference between the number of ardupilots & the number finishing.

I'm going to add this video to my 80's music list on YouTube, so that I can listen to it whenever I want. ;-)
That's ArduRover sucessfully completing the course at 13:40! (And me getting as excited as I am physically capable of being)
Nice editing! and I dont mind the music 1 second! ...
I need to hire you for the Montreal Maker Faire! hehe
thanks for the "danger zone" video!
