Parallax's Red Hot Scribbler 2 Robot |
Parallax’s new, bright red, S2 is designed to be a worthy successor to their original blue Scribbler Robot. Powered by Parallax’s Propeller chip, a multicore processor ideal for robotics, the opensource and user hackable S2 should have everyone from beginners to experienced users excited and experimenting right out of the box. |

PARROT AR Drone - RTF Quadrotor for new and advanced pilots/research organizations |
Quadrotors, you say. I cringe. I fly a Trex 450 Pro (but am lightyears behind Alan Szabo Jr.). For better or worse I have actually designed and machined my own heli designs and blades. That’s already a fulltime hobby. I didn’t think I had the time to tune, tweak, code, research “+” or ”x” configurations, etc. for a quadrotor. In our mechatronics course 10 years ago we hacked ultrasonic range finders from old Polaroid cameras, custom built our H-bridges, and hacked a digital compass from a family van for our 8 digital input and 5 analog input autonomous differential drive robot hockey player run by our MIT HandyBoard. |
