Engineers hack Pokemon Go by using a drone

An awesome video has emerged of a group of engineers using a drone to play Pokemon Go.

The footage, captured on Sunday in San Diego, CA, USA, shows the men building a drone capable of playing the new augmented reality game.

"Tired of walking around to capture Pokemon, our team of engineers and Pokemon enthusiasts built a quadcopter capable of capturing the little monsters from the Sky," member of the team Radley Angelo wrote online.

"The rig is 100 per cent functional, and we managed to snag three Pokemon from the air," he added.
