I wants one! Seriously though. There's a lot of potential for a fast, manouverable and more importantly portable battlefield surveillence drone there.

Thats awesome.

I have worked with UAVs, including minis and that thing knocks spots of them.

Having one of those attached to the top of your tin foil beanie would be awesome!

Aaaaargh! They don't flog it as a complete unit. You buy the bits and put them together yourself: https://www.mikrocontroller.com/inde...9ec1a959edcd99

Still, I suppose it'd make a change from getting Lego on my birthday. Only problem now is the funding...

Does it come with the sun glasses or are they an optional extra?

Seriously, that thing is amazing. It looks and sounds like a very angry giant hornet. It would scare the shit out of me.
