Ever since a purported employee of Valve wore a finding convoluted hints about Half-Life 3 in the video Valve made when Wheatley from Portal 2 was nominated for a "Character Of The Year" VGA from Spike.

Researchers at UPenn's GRASP Lab taught quadrotor helicopters "precise aggressive maneuvers" then gave them claws and programmed them to lift objects in unison and recover from violent throws.

"Kick it over here," said the quadrocopter, before murdering everyone.

We've been following Daniel Mellinger and Vijay Kumar's work at UPenn's GRASP Lab for awhile, mostly so we can be cursed to know the exact nature of our death, like a cyclops.

Last month we wrote about the engineers of the GRASP Lab at UPenn who built a quadrotor helicopter that looked like the manhacks in Half-Life 2.

Get out your crowbars and gravity guns, because the mad scientists engineers of the GRASP Lab at the University of Pennsylvania have built something suspiciously similar to the manhacks in Half-Life 2.
