Wow - just think of a net connected drone - maybe a drone with Google Maps on board or pushing air quality stats to a database. That would be an interesting mash up. Also, it's nice to see a HackPGH'er on here.

Yea, exactly. There are a ton of things like that - combined with cheap sensors / cameras + image processing / machine learning you could do tons of stuff:

- StreetView -> DroneView (w/ on demand updates) - News / Traffic / accident remote reporting - Inspection of infrastructure - Small Package Currier Service
