oooookayyyy then
Drones, Flying 3D Printer and combating anti-social behaviour makes me think they're just gonna have drones printing dicks and dropping them on peoples heads :v:

if thats printing then

is a giant mobile 3D printer...
its spraying quick setting foam ontop of dangerous waste or fires, not printing out containment recepticles

they even state that its not 3D printing even though the gimic is that its a 3D printing drone...
its sweet but cmon don't over sell the cool thing you built

So, drones that can effectively construct things and do repairs to other structures on the fly, using 3D printing to generate the materials? That's pretty friggin' cool, actually.
