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 Grad student Michael Ziwisky designed a RC helicopter that can display anything that he want as the blades turn.

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?
