    *2+ of those motors.

    I think octocopters like that can often handle 1 motor failure. The one above/below it will just have to spin a bit faster.

    Likely loads of other single points of failure though.

    Decal says "Florida Polytechnic University" which appears to be an exclusively STEM school. I'd bet real money that this is a robotics club project or something.

    This just makes me think of FPV drone races where the g-forces would liquify a passenger.
