/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Ayyy /ohm/, what's a good project I could work on?
I'm an electrical engineer student and next year we'll be asked to work on a project for a lot of hours. By default some projects will be offered for us to pick but I want to do something fun and challenging. It would use programming, electronics and why not mechanical engineering.

I was thinking about doing pic related, a tricopter/plane hybrid but I figured the fine tuning would be too hard and I would never get it to fly properly?

What are you guys working on? Any idea of a cool project?
My other ideas included an app driven airboat, an equalizer, an electric skateboard and a Zeppelin

Thanks
