More than 1,200 drones lit up the sky at the opening ceremony for the Winter Olympics.*
That's a Guinness World Record for the most unmanned drones flown simultaneously, beating the previous record of 500 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=aOd4-T_p5fA) in Germany in 2016. Both records involved Intel's Shooting Star drones.*
The 1,218-drone light show in South Korea was pre-recorded. Still, 300 of them made a live appearance at the opening ceremony, forming the shape of the Olympic rings.

They'll pop up throughout the Winter Olympics during medal ceremonies. Read more... (https://mashable.com/2018/02/09/winter-olympics-drones-intel-opening-ceremony/)
