where ever you would like to buy it I don't like to recommend radio transmitters and receivers because people have their own opinion, so you should decide your tx/rx
Hardware

Putting Together the Quadrocopter
1.) Print the main body parts top plate and the leg, pad and GoPro case at 20% infill.
2.) Print the Arms at 50% infill. Depending on material used you may be able to get away with less infil. Using ABS and 50% will give a good starting point for a very strong, light arm.
3.) The arm, leg and pad can just be press fit together. They should fit snugly, some sanding or shaving may be required to get desired fit. Super glue can also be used if parts do not fit snugly. I have printed mine on a replicator and tolerances work well.
4.) Assemble frame and arms using 8-32 nylon machine screws or like.
5.) The bottom plate is designed to accept a 9g servo for articulating the GoPro tilt mount. Us a push rod to connect the servo arm to the hinge arm on the GoPro case.
6.) Using ear plugs or other vibration dampening material in between the GoPro case and the hinge. This will dampen out any vibrations that get to the GoPro and reduce or eliminate the rolling shutter problems that GoPros have with multi-rotors.
7.) Add electronics.
8.) Dynamically balance props on the motors. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR A STABLE FLYING PLATFORM AND TO ELIMINATE VIBRATIONS.
9.) Fly!

What Would I Do
If I won the Epilog laser, I would do many things with it. First if all, I would focus on making new forms of art. Then I would let my friends and family use when they need it because it is very time consuming and stressful to have a company custom cut a material. Lastly, I would fulfill my dream of having a small, "unofficial" business at flea markets and on call where people can bring me designs and I can help them customize it and cut/engrave it.
