The guy who made the Millennium Falcon drone is back with a Tie Fighter version

By Drew Prindle March 2, 2015

Remember that guy who made a working replica of the Millennium Falcon with a quadcopter drone and some foam? As promised, he’s back with another badass Star Wars-inspired creation: a custom-built TIE Interceptor drone.

Designed by YouTuber and aerial videography boss Oliver C, the guts of the drone are basically identical to those used in the Millennium Falcon. The base drone is a “Prophecy 335″ — a quadcopter of Oliver’s own design, built from the ground up using off-the-shelf parts. To give it the dagger-like imperial aesthetic that the TIE Interceptor is known for, he made a custom “skin” out of lightweight foam that fits snugly onto the drone’s chassis.

And the coolest part? Oliver has posted DIY instructions for all of his creations online, so with a few hunks of foam and some basic tools, you can totally build one of these badboys on your own.

Weekend project = found.

Unitree Go2: Through the power of innovation you, too, can have a robot companion

How many of you can say you own an AI-powered robot companion to do your bidding? More specifically, an intelligent robot dog from the likes of Unitree. Probably not many of you, we'd wager, but there is an opportunity to change that. In the spirit of technical innovation and industrial leadership, Unitree has returned to its glorious bionic robotics roots -- please welcome the Unitree Go2. Available in three variants: Air, Pro, and Edu, the Go2 has been dubbed a "new creature of embodied AI." It's the next generation of the brand's innovative robotics, equipped with 4D LiDAR upgrades, an advanced AI mode, improved endurance and battery life, and a newly enhanced intelligent side-follow system with better positioning accuracy. What does it all mean, and what can it do? We'll get to that.

For now, know there's a 5% discount on the Go2 Pro with or without the controller when you use code UR5OFF at checkout. That saves you $140 on the Go2 Pro without a controller, bringing the price to $2,660. Or save $152 on the Go2 Pro with a controller, bringing the price down to $2,898. The controller allows you to operate and manually adjust the system without a phone. Meanwhile, you can use your phone and mobile app to interact with the Go2 Pro if you don't have a controller.

Toyota bets big on air taxis with $500M investment in Joby

Joby Aviation's electric aircraft flying in New York City in 2023.

Flying taxis, once the stuff of sci-fi movies, were widely expected to make a big splash by whizzing over the city of lights during festivities at the Paris Olympics last summer -- before getting scrapped due to certification concerns.

That isn’t stopping Toyota from pouring more money into air mobility.

The Tesla Supercharger network is expanding again

Teslas parked using the Tesla Superchargers.

EV owners worried about getting stranded before their next charge may breathe a bit easier now: The Tesla Supercharger network has resumed its expansion over the last three months, after massive layoffs at Tesla had led to a slide in new stalls earlier this year.Tesla opened 2,800 new Supercharger stalls globally during the three-month period ending September 30, an increase of 23% from the year earlier, according to the company’s official Tesla Charging account on X (formerly Twitter).Tesla also delivered 1.4 terawatt hours (TWh) of energy during the third quarter, which translates to 27% year-over-year growth. The Tesla Charging account said the amount of energy delivered enabled Tesla owners to save over 150 million gallons of gasoline, offsetting more than 3 billion pounds of CO2.According to the website Supercharge.info, which relies on user contributions to track the opening of new stalls, there were 2,677 Supercharger stations in North America at the end of September, 125 more than at the end of the third quarter.The additions of new stalls, however, comes in the wake of a 31% slide in the second quarter, after a massive round of firings at the company removed 500 employees from the Supercharger team in April.The third-quarter expansion should still go some ways to appease the concerns of Tesla and non-Tesla electric vehicle (EV) owners, as EV manufacturers are lining up in droves to be able to use the Supercharger network.In September, General Motors electric vehicles made by Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac joined the growing list of vehicles to have adopted Tesla’s North American Charging Standard (NACS). The network already allows access, via adapters, to EVs made by Ford, Rivian, Honda and Volvo. The likes of Nissan, Hyundai, Toyota, BMW, Volkswagen, Volvo and Jaguar have also signed agreements to start allowing access in 2025.
