Am I the only one who thinks that this is currently moving way too slow to catch on, and would you not be better off with an actual ball lol.

This looks like a great budget copter. Blade 350 QX3 http://www.adorama.com/BLDBLH8180.html?gclid=Cj0KEQiAu_GmBRDhtK-kzqKcuJwBEiQAJvB8n934txo3NXQhaNWnVOEUtGWYwHcHH_4uvDtSA_oDNBgaAqhv8P8HAQ

If you want to put a little more into the brain you could always built your own frame. I just built a quad for around ~$525 USD total FPV and a couple replacement parts. I could only put a KK2.5.2 in it to have enough for some other things. one thing for sure though that I failed at it to...

Lol, it is a great starter, I already broke mine. Make sure you either tape the battery in or something, because I Was doing a flip and the battery wrapped around the arm and I cracked the arm and not a motor does not work. I was a little surprised that it did not do more damage as I was...

Is that last video you flying the quad we reviewed?

Wow, they are cheap. I've never heard of them before this post but they look like great entry quads. Do they feel rugged as they look?

Well to start what is your approximate price range?

Great decision, I did not think it was possible on such a budget. The RTF will save you guys time that would be otherwise wasted on doing something that has been done too many times to be impressive. If I remember right there was a quadcopter controlled by a smart phone at CES.

Ok, well for one thing you'll probably do a little soldering, this is a great soldering iron for this type of stuff. Here is a great screw driver set. Here is a great little tool kit for small work. Here is a portable soldering iron for quick repairs in the field and such. You will need some...

Wow, I looked to buy that EXACT same camera on ebay for about 40 bucks, lol. I decided that I needed a little bit longer range than a wifi camera would offer though. I will say it does look cool, what type of range do you get? For 802.11 n wifi (most common) I estimated 200 feet range, for...

Well what type of price range?

Well... almost. Say this could not help but to post. A Finnish research team developed a flexible, thin solar panel printed on film that can be used as wallpaper. One square meter of the film can produce up to 10.4 watts of power...

I have watched those, and this is what I was thinking about when I saw the post. All of this could be recreated with a Beagle Bone controlling the quads or a Raspberry Pi. I don't think that the Arduino alone could handle this, though if you add a connection between the Arduino and Wi-Fi or...

The simple part is getting it in the air. once you start having to control it to do what you want it gets tricky. Though all of what you have stated has been done, if your lucky one of those projects were opensource.

Take a look at this diagram. 4 motors, 4 ESC (Electronic Speed Controllers), 1LiPo Battery, 1 Flight controller, and one Rx (Receiver). This is all on the quadcopter's side, and the simplest. you will probably add sensors like sonar/IR and GPS to your project.

"Not kill anyone" is my favourite. Buy in all seriousness does anyone on your team have experience with Arduino, Raspberry Pi or Beagle Bone? How much time are you granted? Most of the flight controllers I know of that have similar features are out of your price range. Take a look at this...

Thinking about it, I could just get another HK 6ch and use it. Because there is not much price difference between that and a 3ch.

I wondered, I figured it would, but it would still not have the feel of a joystic, of course I could hook up a joy stick in place of the variable resisters already there. I would still rather something a little more though. I am surprised that they don't make extra Tx/Rx kits.
