%X The Flying Gator is an unmanned aerial vehicle developed to
   support
investigations regarding concurrent and parallel
   control for robotic and
embedded systems.  During ten weeks
   in the summer of 2010, we designed,
built, and tested an
   airframe, control electronics, and a concurrent
firmware
   capable of sustaining autonomous level flight. Ultimately,
   we
hope to have a robust, open source control system capable
   of supporting
interesting research questions exploring
   concurrency in real time
systems as well as current issues
   in sustainable agriculture.
