How cool is this?!

 

Parrot AR.Drone - the project

 

It is an Augmented Reality drone that is controllable via an iPhone or iTouch. The quadricopter uses four engines delivering 15W of power for a 15 minute maximum flight time using the Li-ion battery. It has a built in Linux system (with open API) and has USB2 support for future add-ons. Did I mention it has wifi and 2 video cams?

 

Check out everything on the site to get a good grasp of what this thing is capable of doing. It's definitely on my "want to play with it" list, but probably way out of the ballpark price-wise for my "got to have it" list. This blog post puts it at $500. :rolleyes:
