KEBAB SKEWER QUADCOPTER
Quadcopters are the epitome of high-tech pastime electronics. We’re rather utilized to seeing the frames developed out of contemporary materials (carbon fiber, 3d printed, etc). however it’s quite difficult to beat the strength-to-weight ratio of kebab skewers.

On the getting side [Shiny] utilizes an Arduino with a wireless module. This method he can manage the quadcopter from his laptop, or go one step further as well as utilize an Android phone.
