Thanks for attending today - let's keep in touch

Hi all,

It was great connecting with you in our 2 sessions today.

Feel free to contact me via email derrick.sobrien@gmail.com about ways to get involved in Electrical Engineering or something you may have seen about my projects e.g. Robot plane, 2D robot.

The Robot plane project was inspired by content from http://www.diydrones.com/
My aerial video and tests are available on my youtube site.

You can get parts for this project from the suppliers I mentioned in previous posts. I also sell complete systems if you have the budget.

If you want to get started in RC, some local shops are:
Model land
PMhobbycraft
Action Hobbies

There are lot's of online stores, too. Email me for suggestions.

Do let me know if you want to get started with Arduino's. It's addictive, to say the least.

For cameras that you can use for aerial photography and video, I use the Sony Bloggie.  More advanced systems are available at Range Video.  There are lot's of alternatives but these guys are tried and true.

PS> the mini-robots from today's session are available at toys-r-us.  Here's a video featuring the "Zibits". I also mentioned the TV show "Prototype This" on the Discovery Channel.  Episode highlights are available on the website!
