Quadcopter Cam: See the IUPUI Natatorium from a brand new angle

As tweeted to us from Kelly McCommons (@KellyJamesTV): Indiana-based tech company Dodd Technologies took its new Quadcopter for a test run using the famous IUPUI Natatorium as its proving grounds.

The video footage from the Quadcopter (essentially a helicopter powered by 4 spinning rotors) gives you a true birds-eye view of the storied swimming facility and truly gives you a sense of how big the facility actually is.
