How about a quad thrust vectoring drone that can split to become 2, 3, or 4 on the fly?

fun test of technology but I wonder what use this would solve better than a quad copter (or more) regarding stability in high winds and carrying load. maybe going into really tight spaces?

Wouldn’t work against MIND-QUAD!

Technically, this is excellent. The fight choreography, the composition of Alec Guinness’s face, the sound editing... its “impressive, most impressive”.

But it wouldn’t feel right in the original movie at all.

It doesn’t have to be quite as “old man vs quad amputee” slow as the original, but this is taking it too far I feel.

Also the “now you will die” is terrible

Why you should never buy a used quad.
Also....this is why we can't have nice things.

Yep, the name comes from Dakar, Senegal (In Africa), when the race, the Dakar Rally, was originally ran from Paris to Dakar. It's now held in South America, yet retains the legacy name.

These are specially built off road vehicles, Kamaz is the manufacturer in this example. Like many races, there are different classes of trucks that compete in the Rally, alongside dirt bikes, quads and cars.

It's basically Mad Max and I encourage folks to check out highlights of it, or the similar Baja 1000 race.

Interestingly, the truck class includes support trucks that don't actually compete, but assist competitors stranded in the middle of nowhere.

This Red Bull sponsored Monster (energy drinks!) has right around 1000hp and a 265 gallon fuel tank if I recall correctly. Road trip!

Could have easily torn both quads there..

So, if you had had quads instead of your one child, I would be in the right to berate you if you complained, felt overwhelmed, or didn't offer your full attention lovingly at all times?
What would you suggest a parent that's only equipped to raise one or two children do when they unexpectedly end up with four? Spartanize them?

Edit: and thanks to a lack of sex ed, no, some don't know how that happens.

Brand new DJI in there too. Or some similar type quad.
Poor fish.

Quads have quite a bit of ground clearance. I wonder if letting it roll over on top of him (gently, not letting it bounce) would have been an option. Piled up the wood to either side of him in case the clearance was too tight.

Also, throwing his helmet down at the trail was a stroke of genius or a gargantuan portion of luck...

While it would be cool, it would be rather difficult to execute.
Weight is a huge deal in these things, and adding weapons would detract from speed.
Altered reality would be very cool with an OSD, but I think that may be a little ways away yet.
Now bumping and grinding happens all the time. Multiple times I've seen quads come up from under another quad and send it spinning.
Most of the times pilots have trouble even finishing the maximum number of laps they can get before they crash. Hell a good number never make it through lap one. Also the crashes never look good through the goggles. An outside view is best. I've see quads hit a pole and shoot 150 feet in the air, spinning the whole way, only to explode in pieces when the hit about 100 yards down range. It was awesome. But from the goggles it just looked like you were inside a spinning top (A blur).

I like seeing the shadow of the quad show up occasionally, to remind me that it isn't Superman with a GoPro strapped to his head for some scenes.

this is awesome. Looks really fun to drive. I would take this over a quad-bike anytime.

Tried to check out price and range on the official website but couldn't find it.

But it's mine, so someone else needs to dupe this.
