It's funny that you say that, because you can buy an iPad-controlled quadrotor on Apple's store right here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1991ZM/A?fnode=M

- Sukotto 16y agoJust wait till they film one controlling an ipad by gently scraping itself across the screen.... perhaps playing angry birds. From these videos it looks plausible. The hard part now would be setting up the camera to see what's happening on the screen when the copter is on top of it.

- jarek 16y agoNow you have me thinking whether a severed finger would continue to work on a capacitive screen. A fine way to start the morning!

- kirubakaran 16y agoSausage works. Why won't a finger? It is about conductivity, isn't it? May be the bots will pickle our fingers for best results.
