AR-Drone initial thoughts

So I am writing this to say what we have done. We have gotten the drone to work with an android phone, and got it connected to a laptop. We were able to get the bot to run the script that makes it track a red ball and it works flawlessly. I would say for a start that it has been a total success. We have used the URBI SDK to get the bot to run a script to take off turn and land.

We are now trying to get the scripts running all the time. Then we will start to program the bot to do what we want.

Initially we want to program the bot to follow some sort of path and then we may use a phone to connect to the bot and move it with GPS. This is more of a thought at this point and we hope to do it but we have to see how everything else goes.

Here is a link to the code project. There isn't much to speak of on there yest, just what we need to use, like he libraries.
