<DIV>hrmm, I see a few issues though, how to power the sprayer, the rotor blades
and how much capacity would it have, (how much paint, how long of a flight time?
how long to recharge/refuel) </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It could be done with a gas engine, but instead of varying motor
speed(gas/nitro motors don’t respond fast enough) you would have to use variable
pitch blades and run the motor at a set speed. </DIV>

<DIV>plus gps may not be accurate enough for this, might have to use visual
recognition, or use some kind of FPV stuff. </DIV>

we paint water towers, shipls or bill boards with a helicopter platform like
that? If we could load a description of the surface and an image into software
and control the copter to precisely apply spray paint, I think we'd have an
interesting project.

grant. Right now I don't see how we can qualify at the hacker space because
as a whole we haven't completed or have undertaken any projects relevant to
the proposal and we haven't held any classes or events geared towards the
k-10 crowd. Does anyone know of any projects we could do or at lease work on
in pieces for this grant?
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I know from my experience helicopters and quad copters were amazing. My
project did end up getting taken to another university for an ONR grant.
That platform that I showed in the youtube video the last time I was at the
space was to be used for a river following flying platform. While ambitions
for that project are grand, we can build small components for a project like
this <A href="http://iarc.angel-strike.com/"
target=_blank>http://iarc.angel-strike.com/</A>. I ran a group of undergrads
working on that project before I left. We had a flying platform at least but
it didn't complete it. I'm all ears for any ideas so we can 1) start working
and 2) start writing this grant. </DIV>

????<BR><BR>ONR is seeking proposals in support of education
programs in STEM. The ONR mission of STEM is to foster an interest
in, knowledge of, and study in science, technology, engineering
and mathematics nationwide to ensure an educated and well-prepared
naval and national STEM workforce. In support of this mission, the
following four investment priorities have been identified:<BR>●
Inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers. [Programs
that fall mostly within Grades K-10]<BR>● Engage students in
STEM-related hands-on learning activities with Naval relevance.
[Programs that fall mostly within Grades 3-12]<BR>● Educate
students to be well prepared for STEM employment in the Navy and
Marine Corps as well as supporting academic institutions and/or
the Naval contractor community. [Programs that fall mostly within
Higher Education]<BR>● Employ, retain and develop Naval STEM
professionals. [Programs that fall mostly within Higher Education
and Professional
Development]<BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Makelehighvalley
