MikroKopter Follows The Action With Camera Tracking System

These German guys put together a cleaver project for filming a Wakeboarder on a lake. The six propeller “MikroKopter” sports a camera which follows the action by receiving a signal via an automatic tracking transmitter. The mount calculates the angle and adjust the camera to keep the rider in view.

H2 R/C Car Powered By Soda Cans (Video)

Some Spanish engineers have come up with a radio controlled car that is powered by soda can tabs. The dAlH2Orean H2 R/C Car is powered by aluminium.
