Tony bent to drop his armload of spare parts onto the ground next to the two repulsors, giving Bruce an exasperated look as he straightened up. "You were supposed to catch those, you know."

They were each part of a experiment Tony liked to call distributed embodied intelligence, and the bouncing and humming was part of how they oriented themselves.
