This looks pretty awesome especially with the SDK. The hovering looks a little unstable compared to the hummingbird (http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/military-robots/...), but still very impressive. If they add support for wireless charging, you could have a pretty cool home monitoring system where the dragonfly roams about your home and returns to a charging station when needed

It is ineresting that their indiegogo campaign has an upper funding limit, as all of their goals are limited in size. Is it due to some sort of production limitations? I think it's strange, given that they've surpassed their goal already and still have 52 days to go.

Vimeo video didn't work for me, here's another:
