A lot of the FPV (first person view) small drones from the video’s are 1-way, even the ones that are slightly more fancy with the dropping mechanism might not go back to base for rearm and instead get ditched in a third location for potential reuse later. This is because there is a risk of an enemy drone following your fpv drone home, giving away your location. This happened to the US in the middle east not long ago, I’ll update if I find a news article about it.

This is really interesting work on the 2d problem, but onions aren’t cylinders, and chefs arent machines that can aim for 96.0% below the surface. I wonder how the third dimension might change this.

He also says that they’re gonna email all the pre-orderers before with the finalized design and let you swap to the smaller one without losing your place in line, if that’s an alternative that might interest you.

That quote at the end about how hard the rock is in Tennessee really sent me. Worth a pause to read the whole thing.

Ya, I was thinking maybe a power outage/fridge failure cause a whole fridge worth to need to be tossed at once, but most pizza shops are gonna try to toss as little dough as possible.
