I just called Parallax to see if they where going to attend, and they said they where. I enjoyed seeing everyone last year with the roll-out of the Eddie.

It's really convenient for me as it's only a one hour drive.

Only a day and a half to get reduced tickets:

    Thanks for the booth number Jen. I called two days ago, and no one knew.

    At least Jay and I will be there. My second year.

    And I'm bringing someone I hope to convert. :)

    UPDATE:

    The Parallax boys were out with a new "Skunk Works" prototype today.

    Pretty cool controller worn on the wrist with a joystick in hand. Basic XBEE signal to PropBOE on the board to receive the throttle signals.

    And yes, erco, it IS plywood. I bite into it just to make sure! Matt must have been off that day.

    The Parallax booth was pretty crowded. I think the Quad and Hex Copters drew a pretty good crowd. That's why I didn't take a picture of the booth, I spared you at looking a the back of people's head's. :)

    Nice Parallax booth and great presentation and demonstration of the 'copters. Got rained out for a little while earlier in the afternoon.

    I was in New York for about 10 days and had some time on Sunday afternoon, arrived just as it started to rain, and stayed 'til closing.
