Stanford quadcopters rock!
We've enjoyed watching the development of Stanford's STARMAC II quadcopters, and this video does a good job of showing why: the 6 vehicles are light, incredibly accurate in both GPS and ultrasonic position sensing, and robust.

- Jack, can you clarify that a bit? What's less than what? Helis vs quadcopters?
