Designing and developing unmanned airborne systems is extremely challenging but by combining the diverse skill sets and knowledge bases of both the University and Scott Wilson, the project has really taken off and is already gaining some great results.

We have been working with a spraying company on developing a machine which will allow us to spray chocolate as a decoration, the difficulty we experienced was when we tried to make stencils for our Easter eggs. Trying to cut 1.5mm polycarbonate over the curvature of an Easter egg was causing the development team a real headache. We had tried pretty much every method of cutting available and found water jet cutting to be the most successful. The problem was getting the cut to follow a curve of the egg. Luckily for us our local University had this state-of-the-art 6 axis cutter and initial trials proved very successful. Without the technology and support of the university the potential of the spraying system would have been very limited.
