Autonomous Quadrocopters Play Ping-Pong
Forrest could take 'em.

Obviously not, you're alive to read this.
Hit the jump for scary.

In news that can only be described as bad, a group of autonomous quadrocopters at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology have successfully built a 20-foot tower out of foam blocks. *adding Switzerland to shit list* Neutral my ass! But seriously, I want you to think about ... / Continue →
