Yeah, I can only imagine the stability when breezy weather hits that big sail

#4That's really cool honestly. This took me back to around 2017 when everyone was into hardware startups.

#5IMO it's worth watching the video rather than reading someone's writeup of it. My favorite part is this (written) list of everything that went wrong [1] ... and how much of it is due to the intersection of hardware, software, vendors, and linux

#6>what was supposedly a small project ended up big and complicated
Welcome to the drone world! So many moving parts and one tiny mistake, you end up losing a $60k drone in the ocean (true story!)
That being said, regulations prevent flying drones of any size above people, unless the drone is high to certain altitude, because of all the dangers that bring, a small issues and the props will harm them.
Cool project tho!

#8I saw this on Facebook before I saw it here. While it bears a superficial resemblance to 1000s of clickbaity tech stunts this one really delighted me. Some of these should be edited into a remastered release of Blade Runner.

Interesting, not what I remember from 2017. To which hardware startups are you referring?
