MSOE and UW-Platt plans to have a friendlly quad-copter competition this weekend. Does anyone knows of other universities having a competition ?
I plan also to share information on with the students on a project I am working on building a ground robot that can house a quadcopter and deploy on the field to locate a wiFi source and hover on top of it for 30 seconds.
The ground robot was prototypedusing cardboard by a 13 year old boy in Mississippi that got inspired by Caine's Arcade:
