My school will be the cause of the apocalypse

So I really enjoy progressive drone technology (the field of quad rotors specifically.)

I just came across this video from my university, its the first time i've seen this level of interaction with humans from quads.

All I can think about is walking in a room and getting confronted by a line of quadrotors, that then create a sphere around me, and stab the fuck outta me.

heres an amazing TED talk if you are interested in the technology

That's too cool. Urbana Champaign is an awesome engineering school, not surprised to see that they have this shit there.

Imagine fucking with the people on the lift in front of you with those things

 

[Phil-X-]

holy fuck.... i bet you could literally swarm someone to the point that they would fall off the lift. Tryna swat at them and shit like bees .... NOPE FUCKING ROBOTS

Those things are hard to fly I can tell you that much

 

[Phil-X-]

watching the vid with OPs icon to the side made it better

Im so happy to be studying engineering at U of I, my specific program (Agricultural and Biological Engineering) is ranked #1 in the nation which still blows my mind every day

Today I had a moment of genius while at my internship and may be attempting to begin a research project that involves drones and agricultural systems, like straight up fucking game changer.. gotta stack dem billions
