Photos from the Skywalker 2013 build setup for dual cameras. There is space for three cameras, but this rig will be tested with two at first. The center of gravity of this setup requires that the battery be brought as far forward as possible and ends up locating part way under the canopy hatch. The tray extension can be seen in the photos.
The bill of materials will be posted here
The following thread has started on DIY Drones - and is a great case study about why we want to be able to have single sign-on across open source communities and subscribe/embed forums and wikis. Otherwise we will be forever having parallel posts across communities...
Here are some of the documents from the hackathon - please add more!
We were just featured on MAKE Magazine's blog (March 3, 2014) - The Future of Farming is Open Source http://makezine.com/2014/03/03/the-future-of-farming-is-open-source/
And Shareable did a great piece here: http://www.shareable.net/blog/farm-hack-and-rafi-partner-to-share-north-carolina-farm-innovations
Problem Statement
Loading and transporting three point hitch implements is often challenging with conventional deck over trailers
Loading equipment like combines and hay equipment can also be challenging, dangerous and risk damaging the equipment using conventional trailer designs
Approach
Use a movable trailer deck that slides off of a ramped carriage to the ground for loading, but can be backed up onto the wheels for transport.
