The Ziptie part - terrytaylorbonn/auxdrone GitHub Wiki

There are basically 2 aspects to the ziptie concept.

1 Your first drones build(s) should be test platforms(s)

You can buy a drone that has everything in a very compact package. But you can't take it apart. You can learn how to operate, but not how to build. You can't customize.

ZiptieAI is about DIY to learn the tech. For that you need to build your own test drones that have been ziptied together, that give you the space to experiment and debug. Your first drone(s) should be test platforms.

2 Your future drone builds should be designed for quick upgrades / modifications

And your future drones should always be built designed for modifications. For example, the ziptie drone became famous on the Ukrainian battlefield. Usually military hardware goes through a rigorous long-term dev process, but small drones are different. You need to create mission specific platforms that meet the immediate requirements.
