There are a ton of these tiny RC Helicopters around, lots of them use IR light to send signals from the remote to the RC Helicopter. Arduino versus Evil took one apart to see what makes it tick. The helicopter doesn’t have much payload capability but it seems to be quite nimble. Since it is just IR it should be simple to reverse engineer the commands for various movements.
 RC cars are fun but why let the fun end at driving it around with the supplied remote? Shazin Sadakath got a car and tore it apart to see what made it tick. He took an Arduino and was able to hack it into the car circuit to be able to control all of the car functions with the digital IO Arduino pins. After learning how to interface
We saw a Hexacopter Delivery Platform yesterday. If your RC vehicle is flying in an environment that is a bit more hostile why not implement a few of these Machine Gun Quadrotors. With a few of these able to step in when enforcement was needed I don’t think anyone would be messing with the delivery of books.
 If you are in Australia don’t look to the street for your package delivery, look to the sky! A company called Flirtey is developing a robust hexacopter drone that will be able to fly autonomously from warehouse to your current location in minutes carrying your purchases. To start they will be delivering books from Zookal, a textbook rental service. To use the service you would select the book
We have seen cut away models of things like conventional gasoline engines but this 3D Printed Jet Engine is amazing because it was 3D printed! In fact you can print your own copy since the creator has shared the design on Thingiverse. I guess the next logical step is to print it from metal and run it on jet fuel instead of compressed air!
One common theme amongst 3D printers is that most of them print layer by layer. The printing is normally started on a flat build platform and grows from there. This is limiting though since with this limitation you would not be able to do things such as build a design around a curved platform or on an irregular surface. This 6 Axis prototype 3D printer changed that by giving
If you are looking for a costume for Halloween why not do a Minecraft theme? There are quite easy to make because of the 8 bit theme. A color printer, some cardboard or foamboard and some glue will get you along way to constructing something that will look cool and be recognized by many.Â
