    From the top image, it appears the suburbs they intend to attack are in Southern California.

    So when do they come out with the robot spiders that can go floor to floor in search of Tom Cruise lounging in a cold bath?

    yes, lets have even more killing robots so that fighting wars will be even more terrible and inhuman than it is today.

    @nemoo: I say we get the most horrific, violent, bloody weapons and tactics we can. We've mad war far too clean and sterile. We need to gory horror to see, scare us off of war a little.

    According to the above diagram, it appears to drop bottles of Gatorade on the unsuspecting populace below.

    I dunno about the whole "ending in disaster" thing, but somehow I suspect this breaks several laws, at local, state, and federal levels. Even if it's just a technicality.

    In reply to Unmanned Helicopter Flies Low, Dodges Obstacles With 3D Laser Camera
    There was some comedian, I think it was Ellen Degeneres, who did a whole bit about why planes need to fly Soooooo high. Why can't they fly really low so if you do crash, you only fall 50 feet.

    @Git Em SteveDave loves this guy-->: ever tried jumping off, say, a 10 m (33 ft to some) tower into a pool of water and landing somewhat unfortunately? Well, imagine that happening, but on concrete or normal soil, and 50 ft. all of the sudden are not so little. It basically kills you just as well, but with a higher probability of leaving you paralyzed. Take your pick.

    @yogibimbi: Well, you also aren't in a huge aluminum tube, which absorbs most of the forces. If the plane is at 50 feet and loses power, you belly slide. If you are at 30,000 feet, you hit hard.

    Unmanned news/traffic drones could become common.


    After the horrific crashes of the last couple of years I can't see it as being a bad thing.

    low = more visible and easier to shoot down right?

    @jdbaile3: Actually no. the higher it is, the easier it is to get a bearing and shoot. If it's flying low, the sound doesn't give you enough warning, and by the time it whizzes over you, you might get a shot or two off. But there is always the "Golden BB", which nothing can prevent.
