Interesting stuff. One enclosed propeller seems safer than a quadrotor. The lady doesn't seem to mind being chased up the stairs by the cute, menacing sphere.

    Pretty wild, but what does the "Ministry of Self-Defense" got to do with it? (Maybe they mention, but it's in Japanese.) The video does a good job showing how I can use it to terrify young women. Looks like an interesting past-time I'll pick up.

    Clearly these guys suck at flying it -- no girl-scaring for these dudes:

    OK, there's one of the rare FAIL crash videos that I was referring to in the Quadcopter thread. Also rarer than hen's teeth!
