Nice find. Hadn't seen those guys before. Very nifty.

they are pretty nimble too from what I remember of a previous trid of them.


few dozen of them flown in under remote each with a bunch of grenades would sort out alot of situations

Has really made me think what those rotor drones can do.

Wow thats awesome, super damn agile.

Great, and with the size you can get decent cameras at now, Black Helicopters are going to go obsolete!

Where's my Tinfoil-lined "Tin Pot"?

With the phenomenal agility of these buggers, it'd be kinda interesting how a full size version would do, and what kind of payload it'd be able to handle.
