Drone Fails

in Robotics
The older I get, the less I enjoy watching videos of people wrecking their bikes and falling off ladders. That just plain hurts. But good drone fail video$ are jolly good fun, watching people cra$hing and throwing their money away, and presumably nobody gets hurt. One minute, everything's cool. Then you hear that angry growl of motors and propellers desperately clawing at the air...

A secondary camera showing the operator's face: Priceless.

    At least, the joy that owners feel cannot replace by any amount of money though, throw money for those fail drone.

    Those are epic! Here's one more that a buddy and I made with a minicam on his bungie-launched glider:

    I like the sound the motors make as they crash.

    Here are some of my "hard landings" trying precise FPV on a windy day.



    The next one it flipped so many times, then hit a fence and flipped a few more times, there were parts everywhere! Fast forward 2 min in.



    Link if above video isn't working.

    It looks like the youtube thumbnail links don't work if you include a start time. Or maybe it is my video.

    I think "follow/pursuit" drones with POV cams, being shot at by the people pursued, would make funny PPV TV.

    IOW, POV PPV TV AOK 4 ROFL IMHO.
