Actually, you may be more right than you know (sorry). I've found this quote: "We tell the quadrotors what structure to build and they figure out the assembly plan and then build it." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W18Z3UnnS_0&feature=player_embedded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W18Z3UnnS_0&feature=play...
