This this is one heck of a piece of technology.

Indeed, considering it's powered by just 4 laptop batteries and 6 motors, it can do a lot of things.

Imagine proliferation of this technology 5, 10 years down the road - MKs can be used for literally hundreds of military and civil applications.

The performance of this hexcopter is amazing, just look at that climb rate. The GPS guidance capability reminds me of a robotic carrier pidgeon...

Amazing, absolutely amazing, fantastic performance and design.

Really impressive...the list of possibilities must be huge. I wonder how long she can go endurance wise on the batteries supplied.

Very elegant! Would love to add that to the toy box.

Wow! Imagine the shots a digital filmaker on a budget could get with such a stable minicopter.
