Apparently this has required a bunch of hardware and software
reconfiguration. The drones now have a styrofoam body component, longer
lasting batteries, guards over the propellers, and a newer more accurate
sensor suite. It would be really interesting to have a technical chat with
them about how swarm co-ordination has impacted their hardware designs and
software logistics.<br> I wonder if some percentage of the 500 actually
wait on the ground to replace failures. Or if they're doing anything to
prevent light reflections off the mechanicals of the drones so the points
look more defined? I wonder how many die during a performance? I wonder how
densely they can fly in a formation without causing instabilities in
lower-flying drones?<br><br></div> I wonder ... if we can get them to pay
a visit to Ottawa on their upcoming world tour?<br><div><div><br><img
