lol ok. Well wonder how all those other projects managed to do it with super small teams and no "project" funding and became as successful and huge as they have, most starting with 1-2 people. To me its a step back using kickstarter or indiegogo for something like this and screams we want to do this for ourselves but will only do so on someone else's dime. Not sure why the only thing you answered was in regards to your funding plans. The rest of the questions were actually much more important unless I have missed some post on the list where this is all laid out for all to see. What does this offer that proven open source solutions or their clones do not currently, can you even compete with their solutions? Or are you trying to reach a different market? What are you currently using to prove this would even make a good "cape" ? Do you even have a rough proto? Are you targeting fixed wing, multi, both or? How many flights are you on already? What control algos? Are you going to be forking code from the hard work of the other current solutions to jump start yours or? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
