Hi Cheddarman, Yes, I watched the opening ceremony on live TV. The formation of drones was an amazing spectacle. I did just keep wondering about what could go wrong - say a small computer glitch that sent one drone out of position where it hits several other drones sending them out of control etc... Anyway it was quite a sight and hats off to the Japanese for having the skills and technology to pull it off.

All the best, Martin

This certainly is amazing. Another amazing one to watch is this one:

What's next? The revenge of the drones?
