    Whoa, that thing is badass! This is why I put my emphasis in control theory in undergrad EE courses, you can get machines to do crazy things. That little dealio has all types of applications, but your idea is pretty hot.

    Have you seen Trackheads edits with the RC helicopter? Piton Productions I think. Amazingly cool perspective you don't get from a bigger bird.

    yeah, I've watched every video that TH has put out (including his NSR stuff) - it's really fucking badass.

    Once they can start programming up synced up movements with an skier on a rowdy line - I think I'll officially have my mind blown.

    Yeah, Installing all the IR emitters all over the mountain would kinda defeat the purpose, no?

    These little flying robots are fully autonomous. All the math is done on board.
