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.

The video in the link has some really good shots from the side, it looks pretty thick, but this will be my first, so I'm not sure how thick is too thick.

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.

I'm not sure a friction roller is that great of an approach nowadays

Also, I don't love that ~~there's not a single picture of the system installed on a real bike,~~ nor any audio of it running next to a middrive e bike, or even a hub drive retrofit kit

Edit. Oh I missed the install video. That is surprisingly small!

The PR, Here and the register piece with a screenshot of the file it downloads Here

Pretty obvious "this adds code that downloads a file for some reason" stuff, and completely unrelated commit message
