As I said in my top level comment, it was a project at the university. So the reason is basically that we were making a prototype the best way we could, in a way we knew we could finish in time. :)

I read your PDF. I haven't done anything along these lines, I just thought all the USB transmission and decoding sounded way more difficult than using standard RC transmission.
Well, as a programmer I knew that domain. As the saying goes, when you're a hammer.. :)
How does a weekend hobby project (and one that's been done before no-less) become a university research project?
It's not exactly a "university research" project. We're just students. It's a course where there is much focus on combining the expertise of different studies and focus on teamwork. So it's more about the process and widening your engineering focus.
And the video is made for showoff, the project in itself is about the applications of a system like this in a specific industry.
Fair enough - you could probably make that clearer in the write-up...
