Cool (YouTube link). A bunch of small quadrotor flying machines that can fly in formation. The reaction I’ve seen elsewhere from people ranges from “Cute!”; to “Manhacks!” from Half-life 2 fans.
Holy fuck that was cool!
I demand to have thousands of these delivered to my home ASAP. Finally, my dream of playing a real life game of Galaga seems within my grasp! In the mean time I’ll be painting my garage matte black with stars, and clean my Glock.
Seriously though, that’s some truly stunning robotics; looks like it was pulled right out of science fiction.
Awesome.
Do they have onboard positional correction I wonder?
Does make me think of civil rights implications, however.
I love it that they sound like angry bumblebees! That was really, really cool!
