Prototype this

Has anyone else found this?
The show that used the rc airplane kind of looked like they used a bs2 and gps
It would be interesting to know what exactly they used for their electronics.

One of the Prototype This cast members was Joe Grand, and he uses Parallax stuff a lot. You should check out his site for projects using parallax stuff: http://www.grandideastudio.com/do-it-yourself/····In fact, some of the stuff Parallax sells, he made.

Another cast member, Dr. Zoz Brooks, has been known to use parallax stuff as well.
