stretch Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 HOLY CRAP!!! So, I didn't catch if all this is only pre-programmed, or one operator controls the "swarm", then different programs tell the swarm to fall inline or what have you, but damn impressive. Did you see the little flips they were doing in the beginning? Sick. Last year a buddy at work kept bringing in the cheap toy store type helicopters to play with, and they are a bit crap, I wish they came with full heli controls instead of two sticks, but hey, they were cheap. A fully autonomous, landscape aware version of these would be one hell of a cat-sitter/insanity provoker. Imagine it with laser pointers on it too! And how to you not go out and terrorize other students with these? Just find out who is dropping acid that day and set these fuckers to "stalk"!!

Gregorious77 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I have seen a contractor at work flying a drone in our carpark after he had commisioned a machine for us. It was one of these. They take off and hover by themselves then you fly it about and they hover when you centre the sticks and land themselves with a click of a switch. Originally they are controlled by the IPhone but he converted his to proper controlls as the IPhone controlls have limited range. They have a camera in the front for spying on your neighbours too.
