Nano Quadrotor Swarm

Experiments performed with a team of nano quadrotors at the GRASP Lab, University of Pennsylvania. If Cyberdyne Systems is going to appear anywhere, my money is on Pennsylvania.

Richard Dawkins Disses Jesus

Star Trek v Star Wars

Leave it to Captain Kirk to weigh in on the decades old debate about which was better: Star Trek or Star Wars?
