Quadcopter Hexapod, the flying robot arachnid

Spiders, and mostly large, can be terrifying, right? And while there are no flying spiders, can you imagine if there were? And what if they had the intelligence of a little robot? For the description of spider robotic flying perfectly fits the Hexapod Quadcopter, the robot of our nightmares.
The hexapod robots are small six "legs" with the approximate shape of spiders, while quadcopters are also flying robots but using several rotors. Well here is the combination of both: the Hexapod Quadcopter. This little has a frame made of carbon fiber and uses its six rotors to stay in the air (if we take this into account, it should be called Hexapod Hexacopter).
Its creators, the guys from Mad Lab Industries, a armed just for fun. We can see it in action in the video below.
