Note: Video is after the jump because I'd prefer all the shitted-pants on the second page for easier cleanup.

Q: What's cooler than an autonomous quadrocopter that can fly through windows and perch on vertical surfaces?
A: Everything, including drowning.

We don't know whether we should be terrified or overjoyed. We've just come across a video demo from the University of Pennsylvania's GRASP Lab that shows an autonomous quadrotor helicopter performing "precise aggressive maneuvers."

You've got to watch the video to see just how amazingly this thing moves, it's 100% terrifying. And speaking of terrifying: my face in the mirror when I woke up this morning. Joking -- I'M THE FAIREST BITCH THIS SIDE OF FAIRYTALE LAND. Suck it, Snow White!

Haha, what do you mean, "after all the dwarfs"?

Thanks to Jonathan, Kyster, Mih0, Jake and Allen, who would all swat that thing like a housefly but with baseball bats. Swing like couples used to in the 70's!
