They should drop a trap with food if the dogs are still ambulatory. Avoids having to hover and make multiple trap attempts, and risk running out of power in flight. It's also easier to pick up a trap with a dog in it than trap a dog terrified of the giant buzzing thing above them. And it ensures they don't half-net a dog only to have it fall out en-route.
- elihu 5y agoI think that's basically their plan. In order for it to work, they need each dog to voluntarily enter the net.
- TaylorAlexander 5y agoI'm imagining three skeptical dogs. One cautiously enters the net. The other dogs watch as the first is lifted and flown away. I wonder what the other two dogs would think then. Hopefully they'd see that anywhere else is better than where they've been stuck. And I guess drones have been dropping food so they would have at least some positive experience with drones in the past.

- sandworm101 5y ago> than trap a dog terrified of the giant buzzing thing above them. That's what the food drops are for. Once they associate the drones with food they shouldn't be very scared of them.
- EdwardDiego 5y agoI'm wondering why a net vs. a cage trap? I guess it's a weight thing?
- pvaldes 5y agoA trap would be the way of choice with one dog but the drone could have still problems with the extra weight I think that they want to avoid the other dogs being alarmed and running directly into the lava crust that looks rock but is still very hot.
- gus_ 5y agoThey have been feeding the dogs for some days now, so the dogs are used to the drones to get the food. Hopefully they will catch them effortlessly.
