Even though there was a lot of progress made with this project, the challenges continue to build up faster than the solutions.

Perhaps this project is still possible, but there are still multiple projects that need to be done before it is usable.

Ultimately, number of different robots specially designed for different tasks would be the easiest and best ways to do what this project was intended for. The Armcopter, in its ideal form, would have essentially been a robot butler. However if you try to build the best possible butler, rather than trying to make a quadcopter into a butler, the best way to do it is with a number of robots that work together each design for different tasks. It might have a Roomba to do the vacuuming, a quadcopter could be used to do the dusting, an armed robot could pick things up of the floor and place then in preprogrammed spots, and a dishwasher could wash your dishes.

Therefore, this project is being put on hold for the forceable future, until either quadcopters become more sophisticated or other advances are made in robotic application.
