Tank-Inspired Drones

The B-Unstoppable Drone Has Tank-Like Treads

— May 26, 2015 — Tech
The B-Unstoppable is a drone that is fitted with neoprene tank-inspired treads rather than the wheels that adorn its predecessor, the humbly named 'B' drone. The idea behind this particular drone is that users can drive it along the ground until they encounter an insurmountable obstacle, at which point they can resort to flight. The drone can turn 360 degrees on the spot and has a high amount of traction.

Currently the subject of a Kickstarter campaign, the B-Unstoppable is powered by a 900-mAh lithium-polymer battery that offers approximately 9 minutes of flight and 18 minutes of driving time. Users can install a camera onto the vehicle or can opt for a built-in 720p DVR camera module that records footage for subsequent viewing.

This drone truly loves up to its name with its versatility and ability to tackle different kinds of terrain.
