    Autonomous capability was not displayed in the video as we are currently developing said capability with AVR RZRaven and TIMSP430 microcontrollers. I’m one of the FSM team.

      Ah–in that case, I stand corrected, and in proper awe :)

    Well done. Here’s the sort of science project that is fun and still teaches loads about math, mechanics and working in a team. Thanks to Boing Boing for encouraging the next generation of engineers that will design the cool stuff.

    Nifty! But as it doesn’t appear to be even partly autonomous, shouldn’t that be “radio controlled blimp” instead of “robotic blimp”?
