Nobody is perfect, and neither are robots! Just look at all those trouble makers and foolsSome robots are so funny, aren't they?

On Oct 8th, I was flying my quadcopter at Magazine Beach Park in Cambridge, MA when a hawk decided he wasn't too happy with my invasion of his airspace...
As far as I could tell, the juvenile red-tailed hawk came out unscathed, and having defeated his prey, was happy to retreat. (As soon as he flew at me, I throttled down the props to try to minimize any harm to the bird.) The quadcopter came out unscathed as well.

Trying to record his friend skateboarding, this drone pilot flies too close to his friend's trick and winds up crashing the quadcopter right into him!
This amateur drone pilot becomes a wedding crasher when he wrecks this couple's picture pose. Intending to get a great close up of the happy couple, the quadcopter pilot hovers too close to the wedding couple and winds up hitting both the groom and bride right in the heads!
Trying to get some cool shots of a yoga session, this drone pilot winds up flying too close to some yogis and crashes the drone into them!
Taking out his DJI drone, which features one of the latest 4K GoPro cameras, this quadcopter pilot attempts to initiate the RTH feature, but his drone winds up crashing into the only geographical feature around!

DARPA is an agency that takes high risks in pursuit of great rewards. This video is a celebration of risk.
A little slapstick lap where I boomerang max speed into my own noggin! Luckily, I did not hurt myself, other than a bump on the head. Be safer than me! I am going to revamp my pilot seating zone once my head feels better![]()

Autonomous-braking car accident in Dominican Republic. The people hit by the car "were bruised but are are ok."
So I added a knife to my shitty robot arm. And I added a manual control, using a gyroscope.
None of us (the robot arm and I) are pleased with how this worked out.

My 3rd year 3D integration project. We had to integrate 3D robot to live action Video and make a short. I learnt 3D this year and my first project or short with 3D. Hope you guys like it.
