Ever wanted to fly a quadricopter? Ever wanted to control it using your iPhone? The First quadricopter that can be controlled by an iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad has just hit the market. This is just plain sweet — Thanks to its on-board Wi-Fi system, you can play a multiplayer game, named AR.Flying Ace, and battle it out with your friends. Hulls are available in three different colors to easily identify your AR.Drone.
Not only that, you can take your quadricopter outside – adapt it to any game situation using the two hulls provided. The full hull shield protects the AR.Drone from impacts that occur during wild battles against enemies hidden in the rooms of the house. The streamlined hull is aerodynamic, allowing greater control outside.
The AR.Drone has taken it to a new level with a live video feed on your iphone screen. Get inside the cockpit of your AR.Drone! Even meters away, keep control with your video remote thanks to a Wi-Fi connection. Two cameras are embedded, one on the front and one underneath facing the ground. The switch between both cameras is very easy thanks to the button integrated in the application running on the iPod Touch®/iPhone®.
Want your very own AR.Drone? This week we’re giving away an AR.Drone signed by Steve Nash (valued at: $299) as well as a signed Steve Nash Basketball for the runner up! That’s 2 chances to win!
Here are a few ways to enter:
The more times you enter, the more chances you have to win! Just remember to leave a comment for each contest entry you complete. (Ex. “I tweeted this” and then add the link of your tweet.)
Note: Please use a valid email address. Contest open to North American residents only.
The winners will be chosen randomly. Giveaway ends Wednesday, December 29th 2010. The winner will be reached by email, and announced on the blog on that same day.
