Last year we had the privilege of putting the Parrot AR Drone through its paces, pairing the unmanned flying machine with our iPod touch. This year at E3 Parrot has some exciting news — the AR Drone is now compatible with Android, Symbian and bada.
Like an episode of Looney Tunes, that’s not all folks. For the developers in attendance, Parrot has released a SDK to develop new applications for AR Drone across iOS, Android, bada and Symbian. In addition, Parrot announced AR Race, a race game which supports one to four pilots.
AR race is more than a free app (available today in the App Store) for creating custom circuits to race your Drone. There’s actually physical accessories (available at parrotshopping.com) for your courses such as pylons and donuts.
The last leg to Parrot’s big E3 announcement is the AR Drone Challenges which kick off on June 24th. After registering at ardrone.com participants will have three video challenges where they’ll have to film their flying skills. The top 14 win a spot in the grand international final, set to take place in Paris on October 1, 2011.
