Hi,

My friend and I have 20 years of experience in conception and design of drones, missiles and several aeronautic equipments.

Today we are offered up to $1M to build an innovative product that would involve drones or equivalent.

What would be a great idea? We really liked the news about "drones planting 1 billion trees" or "drones doing surveillance of sharks in the bays".

What else?

Fireworks laser. One drone with tons of lasers on it that can paint amazing colors in the sky. Maybe a cluster of these drones for added effects.

Combine the two. "Drones planting 1 billion sharks in the bays"

Drones picking up trash would be cool, but maybe infeasible.

Love it. Will start in California, we don't need this in Australia at the moment!
