I have similar feelings toward ROS, but I don't have experience with industrial alternatives. Would you be willing to elaborate (insofar as you're allowed to) about what made the "step-function" level of difference betwe

One small downside of Blaze vs. Eigen for robotics is that Blaze seems to lack the highly convenient geometry types and operations that Eigen ships with. This wouldn't be difficult to build on top of Blaze (and could lead to some inter

Huh, interesting - this is news to me, as I use Eigen all the time/see it used all over for robotics. Is there a good replacement for robotics-specific operations/small matrices generally (I see some people mentioning DirectXMath?

We're planning on it! We'll be doing a write-up of the whole process and stack, to be posted after the launch. We're actually using an analog transceiver designed for FPV use to transmit video to the ground, and a separate di

Sorry, we meant for the text beneath the counter and the tweet feed to give details on the event. You'll be able to control where our camera points during the flight.
