Dave knows what he's doing with that thumbnail

[GadgetAddict]

If I was there, I'd be trying really hard to crash the drone faster than the Intel Core i7 could stop me.

[DjVortex-w]

Take a drink every time that guy says "intel core i7".

Or better not, if you value your liver.

Thanks Dave for telling me about what the harbour bridge is about. I thought NZ was a few thousand km away from AU.

[faeinthebay]

What processor is managing the drones? I didn't hear it the first ten times.

[ForViewingOnly]

Unlike other channels out there on YouTube, Dave delivers on his thumbnail promises... Good coverage of the Intel Body Suit, Dave :)

[Vidadebroadcast]

It's funny how the PR guy from Intel talks about the super powerfull core i7 and atoms controlling everything and the Robotic Systems guy doesn't say one time any of the intel brands.

[JaredReabow]

These drones are being powered by intel processors...when did processors become power sources?

[BradsXmasLights]

I walked past that drone thing a few times at Vivid and had no idea it had all that tech behind it! Vivid was just so dam crowded for all four nights I was there!

For those that can't wait... she is at 13:46 - hope that helps!   ;-)

[RCShufty]

So .. it was an intel core i7? I think he needed to say it a few more times for it to sink in.

[jeremyo]

the video projection on the buildings is always really awesome, i wish that would happen all the time to all buildings

[rzeznicc]

wondering how many of these instalations are based on arduino/raspberry/alike

[joblessalex]

This is awesome! Totally wish it looked that way every day.

[STRATOSPAO]

im sure if it was i5 or amd instead of i7 the drones would crash and kill eveyone... :-D

[Stjaernljus]

The intel guy makes me never want to buy an intel processor again.

[ian-c.]

just had to thumb up the geography lesson at the end !

[Nermash]

Did Mrs. Jones made any comments about the suite footage :)

[Ancantus]

Dave, did the Intel guys say what radio technology they were using for the localisation system?

[SomeMorganSomewhere]

Anybody else note the irony of running EL panels (which are AC powered) with an Edison?
