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 think French guys are sexy.

Because they're dicks? That makes sense.

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!
