    Love it, but I would like to see MarkII with a few improvements:
    A)
    Replace paint bombs with paintball marker auto gun.
    B)
    Better landing pad with weather protection.
    Maybe use some strong magnets to lock the drones onto the landing pad - and electromagnets to release it for takeoff.
    IR diodes can be used to improve landing precision.
    Place the landing/charge pad on rails, so the drone can be rolled into some form of hangar.

    Some of the truest hacksmith behavior right there. People wanna rob us? Have fun robbing a place protected by a literal drone swarm.

    Heres some of my personal opinions
    1, maybe have the thermal camera mounted stationary
    2, have the property map out in grids, since theres already multiple camera already mounted on different angle / or specifically set grid on specific area like front of the door and front of the containers
    3, pin the grid using the foot of the trespassers
    4, upgrade the splash pattern to maybe little over a grid to maximize coverage or the trespassers standing on multiple grids at the same time
    5, set the firing procedure when the target get stationary for 3~5 seconds in a single grid to avoid innocent ppl
    6, drones only take off when target enter grid for 2 seconds to maximize element of surprise
    7, use non color uv paint with some itching powder , trespassers could just wipe em instead of washing them off and would look for a doctor
    8, louda$$ alarm(optional) mount at specific location, only goes off when the paint fire triggered to prevent burglars escape before the paint spray on them and could stun them for a short moment to enjoy the full shower of paint

    This was such a cool idea! Maybe as you creep into V2 you could design a better cage system around the drone for protection, could even 3D print it from flexible materials.
    Also just making a “catch net” around the landing pad could help immensely. Like 3ft wide boarders around it at a slight up-angle to help the drop slide down to the charging pad when it lands or slightly misses?

      this side steps the actual problem. the drone is too heavy. When the drone wants to lower height it has to give up so much power because the motors have to be close to 100% just to keep it in the air so it loses agility.
      a more powerful drone or lighter components is the solution.

      While you are troubleshooting here.
      Your batterypack is undersized. The 35C rating isnt enough at your temperatures. Even without the extra weight the battery wouldnt perform like it should. The low temperature and high current draw from your motor leads to an early batteryfailure like it is shown in your video. Call the drone back earlier ~ when a Cell hits aprox. 3.5V.
      Tbh i doubt your 15 min flight time.
      Btw by choosing other props u can get a better flightime and less noice.

    for any real use application, you need to work out a battery auto-swap capability... so they can keep going all the time. The docking would need to be more precise... or if it lands on the pad, then using those fancy multi-directional-spinner-wheels (used for freight box tracks, etc), the automation would move and spin the drone to the correct position to link up and swap over the battery pack with a new one. Then the old is charging, but it may need a handful of battery packs to be a valid solution (that can swap in multiple times over the night, so needs some rotation function of old and new units).? OR... Maybe a "simple" automated robot "arm" like on a factory line could be set up on the edge of the pad and detect the location of the pack on the drone (once landed), and reach over and remove it and place into an empty charge unit, then replace with in a new charged one?

    Awesome job guys! I can't wait for V2 and when the drones become self-aware! What do you think of incorporating a feduciary pattern on the charging pads to make finding and aligning to the pads easier? Also a folding hanger (clamshell?) would be nice to protect the drones. Are they protected from hijacking?

  • @xXnxanatorXx
    @xXnxanatorXx 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    this is very interesting, my thought on the landing pad is to emit a certain frequency that the drone will detect, instead of having the drone home in to recharge set the recall percentage to 20% that way if something malfunctions you can manually reland the drone. When the landing starts trigger the second drone to launce vice versa with the third drone. You could take a look into graphene based batteries they output the same voltage but a good thing is that they do charge fast but at a cost of weight. I cant code at all so props on ya for being able to make this happen.

      @@holycrusader3119 while shooting someone for trespassing might be legal, I'm not sure putting an actual gun on a drone is. More importantly, it's a massive risk for themselves. Imagine someone goes back to the office late at night to get something they forgot and they don't (or can't) deactivate the armed drones. Or a kid kicked their ball into your grounds and they are coming to pick it up. Or something else goes wrong with the program and you shoot someone innocent. Also, personally, I would much rather have the thieves arrested than kill them.

    Nice work! Subbed.
    Some thoughts:
    * use paintball guns instead of the cartridge. It would probably need a better aiming algorithm and kickback may affect stability - Actually, mounting remote controlled paintball guns on the buildings and using the drones for targeting and noise might be a better path.
    * put an electro-magnet under the charging pad to enhance the chance of the drone landing at "home" in such a way that charging can happen. It could be triggered by proximity.

Load the paintball hoppers with the permanent dye used in bank's dye packs, and mix in some pepper balls and balls filled with Smartwater tags. For legal reasons, it's probably best to keep a man-in-the-loop so they don't engage until the burglar's been observed breaking in. Then cover the site in warning signs, and call it good.

    This is really awesome. A key tag or something for employees would be a nice addition incase they need to come after hours and the drone would recognize it and disarm itself. Not sure how much the paint is necessary though. Though, I think it would be more ideal to first dial out to the PD and give them access to a live feed via a weblink then activate it's light and siren. That way if they show up in a vehicle the authorities have a feed to see what vehicle they are in and what the suspect is wearing and can also track him down if he hides.
    Hopefully this type of package comes available to businesses.
