<p>Ever wished for your own Predator UAV drone so you can track that punk kid who keeps bashing your mailbox from the confines of your couch? Curious what war driving would be like from the eyes of an eagle? Lucky for you, cheap DIY drones have become a reality!</p><p>The presenter will introduce the current state of open source/open hardware UAV autopilots and then reveal his very own complete UAV system. This system provides "over the hill" capabilities through an intuitive interface that allows operators to fly different payloads autonomously overhead for cheap and with nearly no training. A demo mission scenario will be presented with video.</p></p>
