- robotresearcher 13y agoOK, I guess so. But the surge in interest in multirotors is almost entirely in the simple no-swashplate designs with electronic attitude control. The Chinook is a crazy machine, but does not have much in common with a quadrotor except for the very minor feature of having more than 1 rotor.
- dm2 13y agoThanks for pointing that out though, I wasn't aware that most people considered that term to mean that. I have a huge interest in drones (as I'm sure many of us do) and think it would be really neat to have a personal drone that can follow us around, can do random tasks, and maybe even defend/guard us if necessary. I doubt someone would mug a person with a drone following them. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/airdroids/the-pocket-drone-your-personal-flying-robot https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/airdroids/the-pocket-dr... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=533a9_dfg4c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=533a9_dfg4c
