in the ground control centre while it's making its way to the runway for takeoff but that's just to ensure it's safe to cross certain parts of the strip. during takeoff it's almost like an ghost is in control because all of the parts are still moving but i'm not seeing what's moving them. once you've trained a robot once, you can build as many robots as you want, they all do the same thing, right? yeah. some of what the sensors and cameras are picking up is augmented over a realtime view of three cameras mounted on the exterior of the plane. the purpleish bits off to the side are other planes that are in the area, while the bluish coloured lines in front of the plane are the flight path. on our way back to base, the team decided to let me fly the plane. so we're taking control of the aeroplane. so he's out of the loop because he doesn't know what you are doing. all right. i don't know what i'm doing. perfect. after a quick lesson on an xbox controller, i was flying a plane for the first time ever.
