What is this?
NodeCopter.js is a full day event where 15 - 60 developers team up in groups of 3.

Programming a drone is easy!
Install Node.js and get the ar-drone module. All you need to do then is to execute the following code with node. That will make your drone take off, move around, do a flip and carefully land again. Seriously, that’s all!
var arDrone = require('ar-drone');
var client = arDrone.createClient();
client.takeoff();
client
.after(5000, function() {
this.clockwise(0.5);
})
.after(3000, function() {
this.animate('flipLeft', 15);
})
.after(1000, function() {
this.stop();
this.land();
});
