Engadget giveaway: Win a DIY Lego drone kit courtesy of Flybrix!
A unique way to keep foot-damaging bricks safely airborne.
One of the caveats for buying a drone is that you may only enjoy a few minutes of flight before ham-handedly smashing it into a constellation of bits and pieces. Usually, those fragments mean the end of your amateur pilot career, but with a Flybrix drone, it's a momentary setback. Just head back to the drawing board, snap a few Lego bricks together and you'll be back in business. There's a pre-programmed, Arduino capable control board for brains, along with an assortment of Lego bricks and components that should take less then 15 minutes to assemble. Download the flight control app for iOS or Android and the sky's the limit. The Lego framework also makes it easy for you your kids to mess around with customized designs. This week, three lucky readers will take home their own kit to assemble, while others can take advantage of special $20 off launch deal for basic and deluxe kits. Just head to the Rafflecopter widget below for up to three chances at winning this Flybrix drone kit.
Winners: Congratulations to Kelly D. of Elmhurst Twp, PA, Jeff M. of Georgetown, TX and Brandon P. of Baton Rouge, LA!
