I assume its all pre-programmed?

Very awesome to watch. Stick some AI and cameras to them and send them into disaster zones and we will find survivors with no issues. :thumbup:

Of course it's simpler to swap the camera for explosives and create a new UAV bomb. :sigh:

Oh man, that's awesome! I'll be one of the first in line to buy one when and (if?) they become available. I just started collecting small indoor R/C choppers last summer. So much fun! :cheers:
It's so cold in the D.
