Hackers In Residence - The Tethered Quad
September 18, 2013
Our first-ever "Hackers in Residence" Tara Tiger Brown and Sean Bonner created a quadcopter that stays tethered to the ground. Here's how they did it!
-
In a permanent installation - definitely. This really was just for the purpose of the demo. Shawn doesn't even own a dog.

Sorry for the delay - email sent!

Hm, sorry about that. Fixed now. Thanks!

Hey, you earned it!

And yes, we are going to be closed on Monday for Memorial Day!

I'm going to print out this comment and put it up on my mom's fridge.

Thanks! It's an oldie but a goodie.

Yeah, we spent a lot of time building the new set. It's here to stay. I'm not sure what the deal is with that LED, we'll get around to figuring it out someday. A bit low on our priority list at the moment! :)

I actually just wrote a quick article about it here.
In my opinion (which is not necessarily reflective of SparkFun's), I think it's a good thing. I think there is so much negativity from the era of Ballmer at Microsoft. It seems their new CEO (Satya Nadella) has some interesting ideas. I think this will overall be good stuff for the Maker and DIY community.
