Parallax was at Maker Faire, Bay Area introducing people to the new ELEV-8 flying robotic platform. Enthusiasm for the kit was high; no surprise.

Here is one of our flight Demo's Nick and I did. I had Rick's bomb bay "Egg Drop" system attached and released a toy army guy with a parachute (Didn't show up in video).

    Nice video. I am still to worried to fly mine that high. I don't trust my self and want to over correct when I lose perspective.

    Any pictures of the "Egg Drop" system? Sounds interesting!!

    Missed Maker Faire, it was either that or RoboGames. RoboGames won this year...

    Nice to see a happy landing right where it took off.

    Haha! Things have been better since I had my Spectrum transmitter repaired.

    Blessed be the ties (and transmitters) that bind... :)
