Hi Everyone,

Just thought you would love this...   I'm seriously considering an impulse purchase.


The only down side so far is the interface is windoze.

I like it, for extra geek bonus points look at this:
http://www.bitcraze.se/2013/01/crazyflie-opencv-tracking-test/

There are videos of several quadcopters, their position worked out by
Kinnects, I'm not sure how you'd work out which is which for giving
commands.

My bad, I checked the docs and there is a Linux interface as well as a MS one.

I want one! Definitely in impulse buy territory!

Decisions decisions - the Crazyflie or the Parrot running nodecopter.... Hmm. Anish, what do you think?

BTW I ordered one of this and it arrived today. It's a kit so currently I have a bag of bits rather than anything functioning

I've just found this Meetup group.
It's in Croydon, but that is because they're using the aero drome.

No need to apologise of course.

You did the Hacker News London talk on drones a while back didn't you?

Hi Geoff,
Yes i did, i am guilty as charged, the video is here http://vimeo.com/59187049 . Btw I have to admit i have given two other drone talks including one at Open Source User Group in June last year a more geekier version
