Quadcopter

 

This takes helicopter parenting to new heights: a quadcopter drone to ensure Paul Wallich’s son gets to the bus stop safely, saving time and effort while a digital eye keeps a view from the sky!

If you’ve ever worried about your kids walking to the local bus stop on their own, and wish you could have a “third eye” that sent back vision of your child’s progress and safety, you could always try helicopter parenting.

Perhaps you’ll now want to try your hand at quadcopter parenting too, or even building your own version of the 6-copter “dragonfly” camera being used in the Channel Nine test cricket on over the last few days – except this one for your own backyard cricket blitzes!
