An insect-inspired design lets you smash your drone against a wall and fly away

One of the main problems with consumer drones right now is that they’re not exactly resilient. If you crash one (which is really quite easy to do), it’s likely that parts will splinter off in all directions, putting passers-by, and probably yourself, in danger. Many of the more popular drones on the market can cost between $500 and $1,500, so any damage is likely going to be a costly endeavor for owners to repair.
