If you have a spare five minutes, you really have to watch this video. Star Wars fan or not, just watching these drones fly is extremely impressive.

Footage is obviously sped up for effect, but a cool video none the less.If you have a spare five minutes, you really have to watch this video. Star Wars fan or not, just watching these drones fly is extremely impressive.
The Rotor Riot team is phenomenal and super funny too. Check out the YouTube channel if you have some time to kill. I highly recommend Guns vs. Drones.
I'm not all familiar with quad copters, but if it's anything like RC cars were back in the day, comparing a store bought is like comparing a pro RC car racer kit with something from radio shack.how much do quads like that cost? A few grand? I saw a decent looking quad at Best Buy this weekend and it was nearly 1k, but nothing like these things...

Its actually much more affordable than you think. These racing quads use really high-end motors and batteries. The flight controllers are pretty much all the same but the Rotor Riot guys tweak the settings. The basic frame is about $60. With all your electronics, including a basic transmitter, you are in the $500 range. Less if you go cheap in areas. If you add in video gear... the price really goes up. Add another $500. Goggles are $$$ but you buy them once.how much do quads like that cost? A few grand? I saw a decent looking quad at Best Buy this weekend and it was nearly 1k, but nothing like these things...
