Microdrones: First A Squirt Gun, Now An Airsoft Gun, Next A BFG9000
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 12 of March , 2008 at 1:00 am
On Monday I wrote about a quad rotor Microdrone mounting a squirt gun, currently in use by the British Transport Police. Today I ran across this video of a quad rotor helicopter with an independently aimable, camera equipped airsoft gun mounted on the top. It doesn’t appear to be a UAV in this configuration, and I’m kinda wondering why they didn’t mount the gun on the bottom of the aircraft. Still, it’s pretty effective looking, and not something I’d particularly want to be in the sights of.
From what I’ve dug up, the quad rotor platform is called the Pegasus (no relation). It can lift a 7 pound payload for 8 minutes, and once version includes a “garage” mounted underneath that can deploy an R/C scout car. More information about that can apparently be found on the RcGroups.com forums, which has been down (for me, at least) for the last few hours. I’ll check back tomorrow, or if you notice anything, feel free to post about it in the comments.

I’m also writing to let you know of the great discovery my cousin’s daughter experienced reading through your webblog. She picked up so many issues, including what it’s like to possess an excellent teaching heart to have a number of people completely gain knowledge of selected complex matters. You really exceeded her desires. I appreciate you for supplying these great, healthy, educational not to mention cool thoughts on that topic to Janet.
