A multi-rotor helicopter is a flying vehicle with more than one rotor.
The nice people at http://wwww.quadheli.com/ have asked for our help designing and building a multi-rotor helicopter.
Several people are using small unmanned helicopters with 4 rotors ("quadheli" or "quadcopter").

- Wikipedia: quadrotor is a nice introduction. But what are these "three rotor craft" it mentions? (TriCopter? Tri-copter?)

- the "ChRoMicro - Cheap Robotic Microhelicopter HOWTO" [10], [11] describes "how to build a 300 g helicopter with embedded Linux and Bluetooth datalink from off-the shelf components for less than 500 EUR." Can these ideas be adapted to helicopters with more rotors?
