When I first wrote about the dancing quadcopters last week, I noted there was no video. Well, now there’s video.

The IEEE has a great collection of photos and a fresh video from the exhibit showing how the robots work in concert to build a fun little tower. It’s a wild project and a wild technology and, more important, these monsters can scale to build bigger buildings. Could robots one day build our houses or, more in keeping with the theme of future robotic uprisings, tear them down using demolition bots.
