- Greetings,
-
- I have a few ideas in my head for a flying robot but before I can really
- take them anywhere I need to solve one main point: How do I get the robot
- to figure out where it is? That is, some circuitry to detect the GPS
- signal, or maybe LORAN for loooong distances, or even a pair of transmitters
- that I would have to make.
-
- If anyone has recommendations for which system to go with, please send me
- specs for the components required (ie. weight, limitations, advantages,
- ordering information, etc.).
-
- Thanks for your assistance,
-
