Hands down, this comes close to making the french not gay.

That is pretty damn cool. Wonder how much that cost to build?

Friend of mine makes robots for BattleBots. Just forwarded him the video, asked him if he could make a duplicate. That would be just too insanely cool if he can.

I only watched like the first two minutes. Waiting for the rest to load up. I am on my work network.

That must be a pretty weird sensation with the video goggles. On a windy enough day it probably feels like your flying.

That's pretty sick. I wonder what the max range on that is.

I see militant applications for such a device.

To my knowledge they weren't smart enough to employ the gyroscope/camera duo.

Most of the UCAVs now are stealth, and I don't think an amateur is going to produce a stealth version anytime soon.

Yeah, I was refering too that. The ability to "look around" isn't currently something that is valuable to AV missions. But on a smaller craft meant to be used at squad level rather than regitmental command centers, this kind of ability would be greatly beneficial for instant reconoitering. Stealth or no.

I never said French guys are sexy because they are dicks. I said I think French guys are sexy. It is my opinion, not yours. I don't give a shit if a guy is a dickhead or not. Hell, most white guys are dicks. Why should I condemn French guys for being dcks?

MAN white men never get enough!
