ICYMI: The NYPL's book train and better-bouncing 'bots

And why jump out of a plane when you can fall forever in the great indoors?

Today on In Case You Missed It: The New York Public Library will unveil a brand new "book train" at its Bryant Park branch that will ferry research materials up 11 floors from a subterranean storage vault to a newly refurbished reading room. Also, MIT's CSAIL lab has developed a 3d-printed, "tuneable" shock absorber that can protect anything from autonomous drones to cellular phones from violent impacts.

Finally, we bring you the mesmerizing aerial ballet that is the world indoor skydiving championships. As always, please share any interesting tech or science videos you find by using the #ICYMI hashtag on Twitter for @mskerryd.
