Nano quadcopter robots!
Man, I'd like to buzz one of our directors' meetings with these things.
Something like that is impressive, but what is the real world use? In other words, what's the flight time/battery life for one of these little quads? I have one of the small toy RC helicopters, and the battery only gives about 3-4 minutes of flight. And, what will they do outdoors in the wind and rain?
BTW, the figure eight flying reminded me of the old Wide World of Sports figure eight car racing from Islip, NY, back in the 60's. Now, that was real auto racing!

ReplyDeleteI want one or two, or alot of these. We could have such fun with the hippies across the street at the Friday night rally.
R-man: I only need 3 or 4 minutes to disrupt a board meeting!
ReplyDeleteUsed to bring a R/C tank to mess dinners; after the guest speaker had 5-10 minutes to tell his stories, I'd start driving the tank along the table.
ReplyDeleteCheers
More likely, your directors will buzz you Paco. Compliance, you know.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I hear someone playing "Ride of the Valkyries" on kazoo while I watch that?
