Thanks to my good friend Craig, I was able to go to ELC for fun to see some talks on drones and meet the 3DR folks.
Good to see my friend John Hawley showing up the minnow board, his K9, and he brought a killer X8 quadcopter for his talk, which he was smart enough not to fly indoors ;)
One talk was Gregoire Gentil from Always Innovating on a lightweight nano-quadcopter with 4 cameras and image recognition to follow a subject being filmed while doing indoor navigation using. His talk info is here.
Another interesting talk was about using a X-UAV Talon to carry relief payloads to places under siege:
Tridge did the keynote on drones, it started with legos:
We ended with a dinner on tuesday night:
It was great to have been able to go, thanks again to Craig.
