Close enough anyways [url]http://www.wimp.com/aggressivemaneuvers/[/url]
wouldn't call it a manhack but cool nonetheless. movements while in air seem really stable.
That actually looks really fucking awesome.
Thats actually fucking awesome whoah holy shit hivemind ^
That is amazing.
Just wait, they'll attach knives to it someday.
One word: Awesome.
They should make this a toy and make millions.
Now, I wonder how they control it.
[QUOTE=The Salmon;22409302]They should make this a toy and make millions.[/QUOTE] One unit probably costs a ridiculous (or not so, considering how well it performs) price.
That is incredibly badass. Now for a man sized Quadrotor for people to fly. [editline]04:17PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Mbbird;22409465]One unit probably costs a ridiculous (or not so, considering how well it performs) price.[/QUOTE] There was a pile of them on the ground.
[QUOTE=Mbbird;22409465]One unit probably costs a ridiculous (or not so, considering how well it performs) price.[/QUOTE] It's not the unit that costs, it's programming. All I see is a device with 4 rotor blades. But the program calculates which rotor rotates at which speed to make that movement.
[QUOTE=Patcher;22409525]It's not the unit that costs, it's programming. All I see is a device with 4 rotor blades.

Now that is badass. Just put a spinning blade under it.
[QUOTE=K1ngo64;22409558]I think it has some kind of external sensor to detect when it is near objects to avoid them and move accordingly.[/QUOTE] No, I think he's right. It's probably just really good programming. The vid talked about being able to move anywhere in space, but not on it's own, meaning it [I]doesn't[/I] have the programming to figure out what exactly it needs to go through, but it's very good at doing what it's told.

Pretty cool. I wonder if they are controlled by a program or by a controller of types. It seems using a controller would be quite hard considering how precise the movements are.

I want one. D:
That is amazing.
[QUOTE=K1ngo64;22409558]I think it has some kind of external sensor to detect when it is near objects to avoid them and move accordingly.[/QUOTE] Still I don't think it would cost more than 200$ to make the hardware part. But the price that they will give to it is a whole different story *cough*Apple*cough* And about the warfare, Am I the only one that see this things like a little spies that attach themselves to walls in different areas and spy shit rather than killing everyone?
that thing is a hell of a lot more stable than the commercial toy heli things looks promising
It definitely maneuvers better then a manhack
That's awesome whoever was controlling it is an awesome pilot.
Jesus christ, these need to be made into production ASAP in those R/C shops, I need to have one of these!
[QUOTE=ruarai;22411364]Add some guns to them and replace swat with them[/QUOTE] Any significant amount of ammo would be too heavy, but they could put a pepperspray canister on it or something
Oh wow.
[QUOTE=RobMckenzie;22416162]That's awesome whoever was controlling it is an awesome pilot.[/QUOTE] It's autonomous, there is no pilot
The hacks!
my mind was blown [editline]10:39AM[/editline] [QUOTE=svengoli;22419135]It's autonomous, there is no pilot[/QUOTE] someone was still controlling it though, so you could call that person the pilot of the thing they were flying.
