Ramblings of an old Doc

 

 

Nanocopters are cool. Anyone who played with RC planes, copters, cars knows what fun theses things can be. There’s just something cool that happens when you put a kid (or a kid at heart) together with techy toys… and you don’t have to be a geek to enjoy them, either.

So Extremetech has brought some cool videos of the nanocopters in action.

Actually, alone is fun, but when two or more kids with this stuff get together, magic happens.

Anyway, as cool as they are, and those youtubes showed them to be pretty cool… I mean, “Pong” with nanocopters has got to be a blast… precision isn’t limited to them alone.

Catch this Precision and artistic Japanese drill group. Their “freeze” action was especially good.

However, the true Masters remain:

And what they serve and protect. This is beautiful:

Something for Jafo: Catch the bike action and:

The Italian Police from the 1950's. Impressive number in the drill:

Finally, here are the nanocopters in a funny salute to the King of Cool:

Hope this brings you a smile for the weekend!

I watched the one with the model SR71. Now that was cool.

Copters pretty good too.

After watching the nano copters in formation, I cannot help but want to play rich fool space invaders.  They fly in the games pattern and I shoot them with a gun.  Hoping Brad considers this.
