Would it be possible for them to flip and catch the parts to rotate them if necessary?

Why is there so much fear of them becoming sentient? I mean don't we have children becoming sentient all the time? Do we obsess about them all becoming serial killers? Sure some might go bad and bad things will happen but as long as we raise more good ones than bad we'll be fine. We as a species may well be learning how to give birth to another species of beings. I see great potential. Unfortunately good things happening does not make for good Hollywood movies.

it's like listening to a million bees buzzing all at once... forget skynet, I'm more worried that the scientists are going to go insane from the noise and equip them with machine guns.

Very nice Quadrotor. Next step is to make it silent.

what programs and what not do you guys use? What type of code? What thing do you use things like an arduino? I would really like to make one!

I would just like to say you guys are on to something with these. They could (be used in the military) the only limitations are the battery
