Dutch inventors Bart Jansen and Arjen Beltman struck again recently when Pepeijn Bruins, 13, asked them to help him grieve over his pet rat, Ratjetoe, who had cancer and had to be put down. Having heard of the inventors’ work, Pepeijn asked if they could have Ratjetoe stuffed and turned into a radio-controlled drone. Jansen and Beltman, who’d earlier created an “ostrichcopter” and are now working on a “turbo shark,” created Pepeijn’s rat-copter, are best noted for their epic taxidermed cat, “Orvillecopter,” created in 2012 (view at nydn.us/1r0WmmA).
