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

yeah, programming drones sounds like legit fun — even more expensive tho

They’re not actually.
