I often see drones and think: "those are cool! I want one!"
And then a bit later think: "but... would I ever use it?"
People who have drones and love them, what makes them work? Frequent outdoor adventures to new locations?

I'd much rather have a ground rover, which is why I'm building one... drones are only cool if you get several dozen formation flying and doing cool shows or running search-and-rescue patterns

a fleet of drones? I've only seen big corps or military doing stuff. You can buy these?

Umm it’s just cheap $200 quadrotors like they use for shows. Many univs gave research programs using them and there’s several commercial models. Buy a couple of these and program them to fly in formation. amazon.com/Robolink-CoDro
There’s even startups offering drone shows. My postdoc advisor raff d’andrea has a startup that offers these as a service

Damn you really have been heads down under a rock building Gatsby. These things have been on Christmas shopping lists for years.
