RE: Are drones good or bad?

in #drones7 years ago

A quadcopter is a drone that has 4 rotors. You have drones with 3 rotors, 6 rotors, 8 rotors, and even some crazy stuff with dozens of rotors... So, I'm using the general term here and using what people know the most, because ultimately that's what will make people recognize it. I want to remove the stigma from all drones. I could be selfish and just talk about FPV racing quads, because that's mainly the kind of drones that I'm interested, but I want to reach further and so I did a more generic article to reach a more generic audience.

Sort:  

Yeah, okay. Fair point. And yeah, Drone is the all-encompassing term, I just wonder if there's maybe a better term that sounds less ominous, just on it's own.

I can't think of any right now, though.

Just like you, When I'm referring to my racers, i call them quads, but even on instagram, my photos get mixed with quad bikes when I use the #quads tag. XD But hey, we share peacefully the tag. No harm done. XD
