This is one of the cooler things I have ever seen. 

 

"Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich have taught their quadrocopter robots to juggle and volley balls with impressive skill. The experiments were recorded at the institute’s Flying Machine Arena, a 10 by 10 meter indoor playground for testing flying robots."

May I please have an image signature?

Maybe I am a juggling purist...but when you have 2 "hands" to juggle you need to have at least 3 balls....or at the very least 2 balls.  1 ball to me is just call tossing a ball back and forth...btw this article was back in 2011

I knew that I had seen this before...

 

The YouTube video is from way back when. Over three years old at this point, same goes for the article itself.
