Tacocopter Delivers Tacos Using Drone Helicopters

I know a few hobbyist helicopter and quadcopter pilots who would jump at the chance to be involved in this project.  I mean, who wouldn't?

The Internet is going wild for Tacocopter, perhaps the next great startup out of Silicon Valley, which boasts a business plan that combines four of the most prominent touchstones of modern America: tacos, helicopters, robots and laziness.

Indeed, the concept behind Tacocopter is very simple, and very American: You order tacos on your smartphone and also beam in your GPS location information. Your order -- and your location -- are transmitted to an unmanned drone helicopter (grounded, near the kitchen where the tacos are made), and the tacocopter is then sent out with your food to find you and deliver your tacos to wherever you're standing. 

Sadly it looks like the government is keeping the tacocopter grounded due to a pesky rule saying that flying robots can't be used for commercial purposes.
