I wonder which project you believe require the most help? Would be fun to have a small working group in Manchester (UK) - shout if you're in the area and are interested.

Sorry for the late reply, and sorry, I'm not in the UK. I'm using UAVP-NG (http://ng.uavp.ch/ http://ng.uavp.ch/). It's open source, there is a custom operation system (NGOS) and half a dozen hardware revisions and also a few side projects such as a 4x-BLC. There are over a dozen people actively working on that project now and I believe they've created a nice, easily extensible, platform to base future work on. On the downside, it isn't the cheapest project. For students like me that can be a bit of a hurdle. Also, you're likely not going to get around soldering the PCBs yourself. (It looks much harder than it is.) But do have a look around and check the various projects out for yourself before you pick one. BTW, if you have any questions, please do shoot me a mail. I like mail. Or drop by #uavp on Freenode. The people there are mostly harmless^W^Wvery friendly (as long as you've read the FAQ first ;) [edit: And now we're waaay offtopic. Sorry.]

  Hey, cheers for the info. I'm slowly getting a picture of where things are and if I'm likely to be able to contribute at all. For a robust platform to extend in software would be the fun I was after. I've started a Manchester group - there's an amazing 3 of us: http://www.facebook.com/groups/523358144381052/ http://www.facebook.com/groups/523358144381052/ The kit I've found at a cheapISH price so far is: http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/preorder-crazyflie-nano-quadcopter-kit-10dof-with-crazyradio-bccfk02a-p-1365.html?cPath=170_172 http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/preorder-crazyflie-nano-qua...
