I think it's turning those wing parts on top, putting a bind on the other peices connected to it and the whole structure shifts and some of the legs are able to go forward, releiving the pressure on the propellers??

Something like that.

I'd like more specifics about the technology. The song was cool, but not the point of the video.

That's incredible.
The music's 'Mr Soft' by Cockney Rebel.
