The astounding athletic power of quadcopters
 

Very cool! :pimp

The safety netting is in case they become self-aware and start chewing up the audience for fun?

I was most impressed with the 3 quads and the 'sky net' - returning the ball. That was rather cool.

it's just amazing what can be achieved with proper use of brain :)

Very cool, although I tend to think that the sensors around the cage is a kind of a cheat. The sensors can see the reflectors on the copters so the computer knows where they are in space, and "Space" is only as big as the cage of sensors. It would be much cooler if they could do this without those sensors. If each drone knew where it was in space on its own and knew where each of the others were on its own, THEN I would be blown away.

Baby steps - patience is a virtue. :winkwink:

these guys are easily 100x smarter than you and me put together. fact is, you're talking out of your ass, you have absolutely no idea about any sensor in that room.

Its an awesome video

Very cool, thanks for posting :thumbsup

That's fucking awesome!
Thanks for the post, sir.

Part of the reason for the sensor net is because the quads cant get GPS signals inside of a building.

And I bet that if it had been some Canadians that did this, you'd be like HOLY FUCKING SHIT GUYS CHECK THIS OUT ITS THE BEST EVER BECAUSE IT'S CANADIANS!

I'm sure they'd even get bonus points if they did it on a macbook.

Damn, really impressed

pretty impressive

They also drive Tesla's

You mean like sattelites provide a "cage" around the earth so you have 3 fixed points to triangulate with? ;)

What they are doing with those drones are so impressive it is kinda scary. Makes me wonder what kind of world my kids will live in in 50 years.

i agree, it's so completely impressive it's crazy scary! chillingly scary! crazy chillingly scary!

i hope those brainiacs use their powers for good instead of evil.

Damn advanced, very impressive.

pretty impressive, but if they could achive this without the sensors in open air and no some limited room , then it will be super awesome.

and no they cant use gps, as its not that sensitive/accurate ....

i wonder how much weight the all the drones can carry in the sky-net thing,

add more copters and i guess then can carry light weight person too. the main issue they will face is lipo.

This is very impressive! Wow
