Drones Underwater, Drones on Wheels (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on from the drones-above-and-drones-below dept.

Rocky Mountain Unmanned Systems seems to be primarily in the business of selling aerial 'copter drones ranging in price from sub-$100 up into $1000s. But there they were at the 2015 CES (Consumer Electronics Show), showing off a submarine drone and a wheeled drone. These products don't seem to be on the company's website or even on their Facebook page quite yet. Jon McBride, the person manning their CES booth, told Timothy these products would be around soon, as in February. But it looks like a bit of extra patience is in order, although you can contact Jon through the company's Facebook page (his suggestion) if you have an urgent need for an underwater or wheeled drone for your business or government agency -- or even just for fun.

  6. You disabled autoplay! Good boy! by wonkey_monkey · · Score: 1

    Thank you for finally disabling autoplay. Now, if you could just add a freakin' volume control...

    Oh, and HTML5 video instead of whatever weird hybrid thing you've got going on that means, with Flashblock enabled, that I get sound but no video.

    kthxbye
