The new drone
(e:mike). the drone you gave (e:Paul) is fucking awesome.
Yesterday we flew the drone (AR Drone 2.0) out at the church. its very difficult - you fly it using your phone, looking through the HD camera on the drone. Plenty of crashes, and thankfully it takes a beating.
Today we flew it with Jeremy - it turns out that since my phone was in German, we missed the settings for indoor vs outdoor flight, and calibrating the accelerometers on flat ground. He was a lot better at it.
I really think there's so much potential for this. There's an SDK and you can also preprogram flights. Imagine flying around and getting a birds eye view of the neighborhood, or following your bike ride. (e:libertad) thinks we could even inspect his roof.
I need to practice this. Much better than driving a car.

Btw, you guys should attempt this: :::link:::
And have the drone capture the entire thing. :P
(E:libertad) it is kind of creepy, the company warns you about using it to spy on the first page of the manual. I think we'll have to practice more because we still crash a lot, but I think we can get good enough to do an inspection on a nice day
