Laser-Guided Flying Camera Platform

This is a quick demo video of a laser-guided flying platform I made in GMod. I show it flying around gm_solarsystem a bit, with a camera view in the corner.

The design is inspired by a bunch of other "follower"-type contraptions I've seen videos of. It's pretty roughly-done; in particular, the turning control is really simple, so it tends to oscillate a lot. Mainly, I built it as an excuse to figure out Vector Thrusters.

this is nice but there's a big problem with using laser pointer. I saw that you couldn't land it on a planet because when you pointed down it went backwards and tried to "land" on the planet's, umm, side.

nice effort, though. 4/5
