- 6stringmerc 12y agoHonestly I have doubts that the crashes-to-success ratio will be positive from the outset, or even overall. Seems like a reasonable "prove it" kind of attitude. Capable of it? No doubt...but what-goes-up-must-come-down as intended is a consistently difficult challenge.
- kenrikm 12y agoFlying from known point A to known Landing Zone B via Multi-Rotor is actually a relatively routine task given current tech as you can buy a 3DR Iris for ~$750 and it will (relatively) reliably do just that. However add in unknown landing zone conditions and things get tricky.
- mod 12y agoI almost think that it doesn't matter how good the ratio is, crashes here and there will be used turn the public opinion. Save the children and all that jazz. Someone mentioned crashing into children a couple of comments above, actually.
