I didn't understand it at first - "it's just a cool LED heli" - until I saw this pic.



Now THAT'S awesome!

If he can swap out the MU logo for Warrior one, I am sold!

I'm sure it's just a simple programming issue. Maybe you can leave him the suggestion on his blog. Agree that it would be killer!

Marquette Engineering student designs RC Helicopter that displays the MU LOGO
« Reply #6 on: January 05, 2011, 05:41:34 PM »
Marquette Grad student Michael Ziwisky designed a RC helicopter that can display anything that he want as the blades turn.

Here is the article

and Video

I feel like scaling this up to maybe twice the size would be an awesome marketing device to use at the Bradley Center during halftime. Picture a RC helicopter zipping around above the BC court with the Marquette Logo proudly displayed on its blades. Maybe even dropping T-shirts. What do you guys think?
