Quite possibly one of the coolest projects I’ve ever seen implemented. This guy put together a remote controlled blimp along with color quickcam and a chunk of software to create an automated blimp-courier. Way cool stuff for cubeland.

It’s got some limitations, but the concept is brilliant, outside the box thinking, and the implementation is fairly well thought out. Although the implementation is more of a prototype than a working model. I’m really impressed :-)
