    If only there was a way to have 4 or more sources of thrust to balance, giving you full control over your orientation…

    I’m calling it the tetracopter. It’s my idea, no one steal it

      But would such a thing work on a larger heavy vehicle holding weight that shifts around inside ?

        By using multiple redundant gyroscopes and a chip to adjust the thrust to each propeller hundreds of times a second. I hear the wimote has cheap accelerometers that can work, but once it catches on I’m sure people will make specialized boards for this
