Helibots are cute!

omy has started preorders for the CAUL (Car Action Unit’s Line) Helibot which features a suited human figure that can go airborne like a hummingbird. The figure is tethered to a backpack which sprouts a main rotor for vertical lift and a tail rotor for horizontal thrust. A remote control that’s shaped like a standard joypad is used to send 2.4Ghz signals to maneuver the Helibot. The figure may look like it’s holding skis but those thin beams are actually load balancers to keep the figure at an even keel when flying through the air.

That’s very, very wrong. They hold it up when it sits on the ground. They are round at the end so when you scoot around you don’t snag on something and flip over.

No reason they can’t be both. Clearly the legs do affect the CG.
