Wowwee DragonFly

Posted 18 Dec 2006 at 16:09 UTC by Rog-a-matic Share This

Flight, that elusive form of locomotion chronically entangled in the power-to-weight battle, apparently will be within reach of the masses soon. Hinted to by documents submitted to the FCC describing the remote control, and now by a video by T3, and others, WowWee's latest endeavor looks like the most fun yet - a remote controlled Dragonfly. It will be very interesting to see how the hacking goes on this product since the weight of added sensors required by autonomous flight will be critical. I'm anxiously awaiting the first experiment with a swarm of 100!
