Drone Made of Lego Takes Flight

Posted by samzenpus on from the toys-from-toys dept.

TVmisGuided writes "People have made UAVs out of wood, aluminum, even 3D-printed plastic. But now comes the tale of C#/C++ developer Ed Scott who, after damaging his Gaui 330x, got the idea of designing and building a Lego quadcopter. And it worked! 'Most people go to their favorite hobby store to get parts for their UAV, I go to my kid's playroom.'"

    You'd have to give me citations there, because anything I could find on wikipedia and elsewhere doesn't tell me that at all. As far as I can tell a drone is a remote controlled flying thing. As in, RC. No constraints about wether it's controlled by onboard circuits, an external pilot, and no requirement of feeding back specific signals either. Thanks for at least trying though.
