Went to a hobby fair and found this small RTF quadrocopter.
I bought a couple and had fun flying them for some days. As a natural progression I ended up mounting some cameras om them.

Finished the complete cooler/power supply system for the 40W CO2 laser head.
The system is based of a repurposed drinking water cooler. A system monitors water flow, temperature and interlock and turnes off the laser in case of fault.
System status is displayed on a large LCD.

I have been wanting to make a ballancing robot for some time now.
Using parts developed for flying robots it turned out to be really simple to make the robot stable. In fact it worked right away and the whole process only took an afternoon.
Wheels are Lego, motors are hacked servos and the IMU is a ArduIMU V3 with custom DMP software.
This is a pre-study for other ballancing and people carrying crafts.
