Crazy Quadcopter video

fixmax

Just watched this quadcopter video. It's truly incredible. What's truly amazing is that these quadcopters are linked via wireless, and flight trajectories are coordinated together in a swarm. The swarm is a bit scary actually.. You know I'm all about automation and cool stuff, but I don't actually want to be around when Skynet goes live... lol

I think a dark, techno-drama remake of The Wizard of Oz is in order, with those quadcopters replacing the flying monkeys. Tim Burton should do the screenplay, with Quentin Tarantino directing.

And whom do you see for the requisite pyrotechnics, Michael Bay or me?

Erco,

You're hired! 'Might as well grease your palms now, so your hands don't stick to the wet concrete on Hollywood Blvd.

Thank you. I actually prefer when others grease my palm.

Bakshish!
