On: Drone carrying drugs crashes near US-Mexico border

My favorite battlebots story was from a teen who built a 'spinner' and early in their testing they lost a nut when the blade was in full spin. It left a hole in the siding of his garage as if someone had shot a bullet out of the house, 14" off the floor. Fortunately nobody was hurt. He did all future tests in a drained swimming pool.

I'm glad I read this till the end. For a moment there I was thinking the kid had actually lost, you know, one of his nuts.

Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage had their robot Blendo removed from competition twice because it was too dangerous.
