    they were embled then moved away. it was played backwards. if they were all moving independently they cannot emble that quickly. they would need to go around each other and figure out where to go.

    Rather easier to put the robots down in the shape of the logo rather than program them to do it themselves. Playing the video of them breaking up the formation backwards suggests an amount of effort that wasn’t involved.

    On the other hand, if this is for real, then it’s quite impressive.
