I find myself depressed by the realization that instead of thinking about practical applications in law enforcement, military, search and rescue and recreation, the first thing I thought myself was OH SHIT MANHACKS
These things make manhacks look like bumbling retards, as if they programmed the manhacks to think they are puppies, and they just want to run up and snuggle with everyone, but of course the people they snuggle with are killed, so undeterred, they bumble down another hallway looking for attention.
What we see here are capable, terrifying killing machines.
It's cute until it flies through your slightly ajar window or door and murders your family. I bet the military is working on a weaponized form as we speak.
Parrot AR.Drone: wifi quadrotor that you fly with an iPhone, comes with two webcams and two augmented reality games. 32 deminstration videos can be found here: http://ardrone.parrot.com/parrot-ar-drone/videos/#player
I see this and the first thing I think of is "That would make an awesome theme park ride if it was human size". I mean yes, they're probably going to be used for military reasons but... Wholly Crap that would be fun/terrifying to ride in.
Could we maybe think that we're gonna use these for good instead of evil? Maybe use them to deliver muffins to sick children instead of bombs to brown people?
