Watch these flying robots play the James Bond theme [Video]

This is cool: flying robot quadrocopters playing the James Bond Theme. Actually, scrap that last statement. This makes cool look like someone from the backwoods with a dirty, ragged shirt and fake testicles hanging from the rear-bumper of their dilapidated truck.

The video comes from Penn State University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science and features quadrocopters playing the iconic theme on a number of instruments — including an adapted guitar built from a re-purposed couch frame.

The video made its debut at the TED 2012 conference and has been viewed over 600 000 times since being uploaded four days ago. Not bad for a bunch of geeks.
