With little changes you can get cool results, f.e.
else
{
// drillers.push_back(make_pair((*m).first,(*m).second));
// drillers.push_back(make_pair((*m).first,(*m).second));
// change to
for (size_t index=0;index<10;index++)
drillers.push_front(make_pair((*m).first,(*m).second));
gives "star-like" effect:
