A lovely sunny day, a light (if somewhat variable in direction) wind and a set of fun tasks ………. So where were you?

Queensland UAV Challenge

Published: Monday, 16 November 2009 07:37 |

Stephen MacMahon suggests that we might put up a WRCS team in 2010 to compete for the 2011 UAV Challenge. See HERE for details and links to photos from the 2009 event.

The challenge is broadly to build and fly an unmanned aircraft, to locate Outback Charlie in a 20km grid, drop some medical supplies (eg a bottle of fluid) and report back on whereabouts.

If you are interested, let Stephen know. Topic for discussion at next club night and at the field.
