We have a gut feeling this is the video that’ll be playing when ‘the hive’](Revenge of the quadrocopters: now they move in packs (video)) takes over – a sentimental, ‘look how far we’ve come’ victory reel for the Quadrotor nation. But for now, let’s just keep the focus on the softer side of our future nemesis’ training-room foibles. Playing like an über-geek version of America’s Funniest Home Videos, we admit we cracked a smile watching these insect-like bots from the University of Pennsylvania’s GRASP Lab take a few hard knocks in the humility ring. Fear of the swarm aside, it’s a humorous twist on an otherwise droning research project. The take away? Schadenfreude – it’s not just for humans.
