    Researchers create agile nano quadropters. Have them play music on real instruments. And have them fly in formation. Amazing stuff.

    Man, can they program nano quadroptors to seek out and destroy all the red ant hills in Texas. Or defend the perimeter of my house from mosquitos.

    About a month old.

    Mostly I was busting your chops. I thought the same thing when I saw the video.

    Well since they're saying this is a month old...I'd guess they're probably weaponized now. =)

    Weaponized? I was thinking we could get them to lift up Kate Upton's skirt.
    I think you could probably corral a herd of girls with them, too, then serenade them with quadropter music.

    Oh, and we might be able to program them to make us sandwiches and bring us beer.
