I'd been wondering what the puff of smoke was... according to an article in El Reg, quoting robohub.org, it was a flour filled shock absorber breaking.

Do the quadrocopters get upset when they miss the ball?

Very cool, but I found the recent post of robots juggling a single ping pong ball back and forth even more impressive, since they have to react to changing conditions versus basically just being a set of physical motions that is recorded and then "played back".

Still waitin for the overdubbed versions.>> ^Reefie:

One of these would be really useful for an army squad when grenades are being thrown at ya...

That would actually work! But the enemy would be tipped off where troops were by seeing the helicopters hovering above the soldiers heads. be good to protect a camp or a spot you are holding and they could fly low and fast in-between spots.
