The world might not have ended, but humanity has officially started the countdown clock to our demise with this ill-fated creation. As if six-legged crawling hexapod bots weren’t already creepy enough, the folks at Mad Lab Industries decided they needed the ability to fly. So they merged one with a six rotor quadcopter.
Great. Now we get to spend a second sleepless night worrying about the end of our species.
The conversion wasn’t as easy as just taping both bots together. The hexapod had to be considerably lightened and overhauled with a body made from carbon fiber instead of ABS plastic. But sadly this modern Frankenstein was a complete success, ensuring that no obstacle will stop artificial intelligences from one day wiping us all out.

Now imagine whilst popping to the shop at night, that contraption suddenly dropping out of the sky onto your head, snatching your eyeballs clean outta your skull before vanishing into the night again.
Ain’t no sunshine anymore…
…a six-rotor quadrotor? Really? They even used the proper name in the video title for you to copy! Interesting machine, though.
When it’s using it’s feet doing all the demo stuff I can’t help thinking it looks very lifelike.
Awesome piece of kit though and very jealous. Very versatile – fly to location then scout on foot lol.
the legs should flail about madly when it takes off for the extra giggle…or perhaps shape that robot overlord like a bumble bee to really mess with those aerodynamics…
Now they just need to add a kinect sensor to the bottom to map the terrain below, and the legs could be used to land it on a steep gradient! Then that would be impressive! And maybe pickup objects autonomously.
Creepy, like a flying spider..very creepy indeed!
