GAME OF DRONES
Watch a terrifying drone armed with CLAWS swoop down from the sky like a robotic bird of prey
IF you're not worried about robots taking over the world, you will do after watching the terrifying ProDrone in action.
The robotic flying machine comes with mechanical arms that allow it to pluck heavy objects from the ground and carry them far away.

Tech enthusiasts will be excited to see that drones can now be used for more than just filming, surveying and lightweight parcel deliveries.
But many will recoil in horror at the sight of this massive drone swooping through the sky.
ProDrone's innovation means that drones could one day become workers and perform tasks that humans would find difficult or impossible.
They could prove useful in emergency life-saving scenarios like rescuing people from a dangerous situation.
But, as one Twitter user joked: "This thing could swoop by and steal my firstborn child".

Like them or not, drones are fast becoming a part of our lives.
We've already seen the first dedicated police drone unit in the UK, launched in July.
But the flying gadgets have a wide range of other uses as well.

Companies like Amazon have created drones that deliver packages to people's homes after they order online.
But there are strict rules when it comes to flying them.
There have been several cases where camera-equipped drones have been flown over children's playgrounds or over government headquarters.
Prisons have also had a problem with deliveries of drugs being dropped from the air into prison grounds.
So manufacturers have been forced to "geo fence" their choppers - which stops them from encroaching on a no fly zone.

To make sure customers have installed firmware which puts blocks on their gadgets, companies have threatened to brick their drones if they don't comply.
Popular drone maker DJI said it would "brick" its £1,000 and £500 copters unless owners install more tech on it.
