Bloody kids. In a good way.

Postby nedski » Sat Aug 10, 2013 8:43 pm

After 16 years of kicking his little ass at everything. 16 years of being that great clever dad. 16 years and that day has arrived when he kicks my ass :shock:
Just been carting and the little bleeder beat me duh. I'll get my coat it's the end of an era !! :violin:

Of course it's a proud moment really.

Secondly..
where do they learn stuff. He has built a drone plane ! With parts from America and China and god knows where. It has gyroscopes to fly itself, Gps to navigate, barometers( or something) for its hight above ground, Then he attached a colour camera and transmiter. built his own reciever arial. You can then watch in first person viewing on a screen as it flies around, its in the helmet. Program gps co ordinates for it to fly too and back on its own while you watch, or you can fly it yourself.... how do they know all this stuff. It can do more but it's beyond me :-D So another proud moment. I won't tell him though the smart ar*e :handgestures-thumbup:

Here he is watching his plane fly off. I used to play football in my holidays !!

Impressive project. I have a few years to go before mine gets to that stage, but I can see it coming already.

Careful with that one, the clever little bugger will fit the drone electronics and the car will drive itself :lol:
