    Check this out

    http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/technology/2012/03/quadrotor_drones_are_amazing_and_cute_and_they_will_probably_destroy_us_all_.html

    esp look at the third video....mesmerizing and the prefect marriage of tech and glam

    I can appreciate, to a point, the author's apprehension about the potential uses of these things. I mean, can you imagine these things flying with a payload of C4 as suicide drones? Scary.

    All from my alma mater, in a building a few blocks away....was that one that just flew by my window?

    Wasn't someone trying to use flying drones to cover road races?

    For a minute there when you said drones, thought you were talking about the riders and their race radios.

    Actually, Cipo did state that he thought that A Schleck was a 'radio-controlled rider' in regards to his attacking style

    way cool for sure

    Stinky, it was Hinault saying they were just Gigalos with an earpiece, silly!! ha ha
    These would be very cool for races, and much quieter than that helicopter flying over head I'm sure
