Remote control Sheep

I was at a Roger Waters concert last night and he had the faithful old flying pig of yore that is powered by three gimbal-mount fans and has been for years. New to me since the last tour was a flying sheep that had six simple fixed-mount propellors strategically place that was doing all the work including some pretty impressive aerobatics.

I'm thinking maybe I'll try to mock something up with a smaller balloon and that Sparkfun IMU I have that's gathering dust.

You correctly placed this in baaaaa sport.

I guess you witnessed some pretty wooly maneuvers.

Many moons ago, I saw Frampton and Skynyrd. By the end of that concert, I probably could have been convinced of flying pigs and sheep.

Sounds like a fun project. Can't wait to see what ewe come up with.

Do Arduinos dream of drone sheep?

You don't want to be a sheepskate, include enough. You'd better be able to calculate quickly, in case you need to make a ewe-turn and get the flock out of there to avoid calambity.

Most amazing thing here is that Roger Waters is still alive!

Nothing he should feel sheepish about...

Yep, 80 now and still pretty spry!

While it was good to see Waters still kickin', I have to say I thought the saxophonist on 'Money' sucked.

I guess no one told him he should have been blowing.

Although his views on the Ukraine war are a bit repellent these days.

Agreed.

Celebrities' politics like pizza cutters are all edge and no point. At least the pizza cutter has a use.

Having no Edge would at least improve U2.

I wonder if they finally found it yet?
