“FLOT-stevnan 2013” managed to attract a record number of (gasp) 155 participants, which might very well be the largest number of swimmers at a Faroese swim meet ever. Don’t laugh, 155 is about 3 ‰ of the total Faroese population. I should have moved that ladder.

Behold Ziphius, the smartphone-controlled aquatic drone
Oh my oh my, we need this, read Engadget
Azorean’s Ziphius is a partially submerged device that can be controlled via iOS or Android smartphone or tablet. There’s an on-board HD camera that offers up visuals to give the user a first-person view both above and below the water. Azorean plans to open the API on the vehicle and software to let developers create all manner of games and apps that’ll harness augmented reality. Inside of the drone, you’ll find a Raspberry Pi, an Ardunio-based plate and two differential motors. The company’s promising intuitive handling and even a bit of autonomy with the Ziphius.
You can support the project by voting here, they have a chance of winning $25,000.
It’s a no-brainer!
