UAV Hacking (Proposed)

Maybe you can't afford an AR.Drone or some other UAV, but you can still have fun with one. Some things we could add to UAV::Pilot:

* Object recognition with OpenCV
* Port the drawing of video frames to OpenGL
* Draw on top of video frames (nav data, object recognition boxes)
* Augmented Reality games
* Tying the event system to the nav data (so you can program scripts like "turn up throttle until height = 400cm")
* Getting the HD video stream working on the AR.Drone
* Finish getting a video stream off a Raspberry Pi camera
* Documentation

There will be at least one AR.Drone to play with, including a good set of batteries. Others are encouraged to bring theirs along if they can fit it in their luggage. Be sure to see TSA rules on carrying batteries: http://blog.tsa.gov/2013/06/travel-tips-tuesday-safely-packing.html
