Nocturnal Flying Robots Emerge

The passing of the autumnal equinox provides more opportunity to test luminary robots. Over the last few years, at about this time, I find myself deep in lighting experiments for upcoming projects. It's important to test any candidate lighting systems to understand how they might affect the autonomous flight characteristics of each aircraft: EMI, power consumption, flight stability, agility, longevity, etc....
On Sunday night, I attached lights to two TeensyFly Quads and a TeensyFly Hexa to test them in multi-aircraft autonomous flight. Here's a video of those two flights. These are flying robots, no joysticks were harmed in the filming of this video. Enjoy!
