| Good idea Jeff the video also shows the location you where flying in so they can't say you hit something either. | |

| I could feel the power dropping as I was flying then it just didn't have enough to hover. Needs brushless motors | |

| ho my god it did not even crash hard send it back to them I would and get your money back it brakes that easy ,,I would buy the ones iv shown you every one will tell you, you cannot beat that price and honest I had one crash from the height of a house and all it did was Brock some blades and bent the arm a bit it was up and flying again in about 10 mints so send that back and get your money back and with the money buy that full size one for the same cost bud | |

| Its crap that vid , i was sent the link as they up'd it , it is impressive so dont get me wrong the whole swarm idea video is good
But ( come on you knew there was going to be a but )
The swarm is in a very strictly controlled enviroment , no wind , minimum heat blah blah
They are computer controlled
The computers need the nest of infra read and standard cameras which are placed all around in order to maintain formation control.
They dont mesh at certain points if you watch and there are cuts in the video.
Like i said dont get me wrong its impressive , but add wind into the factor and you have a lot of smahed bots , add the sun and the infra red cams are pretty useless and you have a lot of smashed bots , if the pc went down, well you have the picture lol
Personally i dont think we have come very far weve/theyve been playing with tri/quad/hexa/octo/whatever for a while now and were pretty much still using the same parts and control systems we were when they started ,maybe in a couple of years time when ivestment kicks off properly but at the minute we still have a fair way to go. | |
