I'd love to know the answer too!

I think that using a quadrotor in AP Computer Science class would be a great motivator. I think the site you linked to is geared toward Linux and uses PyGame or Processing.

My classroom is Linux based, but I teach Java. I suppose an intro unit with Python would be fine - or even a final project after the AP exam.

I haven't used any quads in class yet, I've just been researching this on the web of late.
