    Watch Japan's Police Drone Catch A Quadcopter - Popular Science

    Haha. I'm going to hang a volleyball net from a quadcopter and call it a police drone.

    Watch Japan's Police Drone Catch A Quadcopter - Popular Science

    I would love to see a police chase with the net copter trying to catch someone's faster copter.

    Watch Japan's Police Drone Catch A Quadcopter - Popular Science

    Haha. Their copter is massive and it's dragging a huge net. Shouldn't be too hard to outrun it!

    Berkeley Drone Research Survey

    I took the survey and noticed that right at the end. I'm in the US, but I'd have to imagine it was pretty annoying for you. **fixed the post to add US Residents Only.

    This Waterproof Quadcopter Is Also a Submarine - Popular Mechanics

    Pretty sweet, but needs to be tethered since it's also an underwater ROV.

    Amazon's New Delivery 'Drone' Design (Prime Air)

    This looks nice: http://www.birdseyeview.aero/ This other guy did a whole college robotics project on VTOL's back in 2005. Interesting: http://data.mecheng.adelaide.edu.au/robotics/projects/2005/VTOL/VTOL05_Final_Report.pdf I should stick with quads though. I only have so much time =)

    Are there any boards on the hobby market that support that configuration?

    Forum Category Cleanup & New Mini Quad / Racing Section!

    Happy Holidays! Today, we went through and cleaned up the forum a bit, so if you're noticing moved, consolidated, and/or renamed categories, that's why. All original links to threads will work as usual since the URLs don't contain any info about the categories. The bigger changes were as...

    What charger?

    They have it in the US warehouse with lower shipping costs, but the one you linked to on Ebay is the best deal!

    What charger?

    Since the emphasis is on cheap, this is the way to go, and if you let your browser sit on the screen for a minute or so, the price should drop down to $11.45. Hobby King does that with a lot of products if you don't add it to your cart or click off the page right away, it thinks you're...
