All devices are interchangeable, through a plate system that “clicks” to the belly of the drones, made out of oak and secured with zipties

drone_smarties_shooter_00

The early Smarties Shooter magazine with flat piling that tends to send too many bullets in the canon at once, fixed with changing to vertical smarties, after a late session at Fellesverkstedet with Jens, laser cut acrylic sheet

Works fine but tends to jam when flying, the motion makes more than one smartie to fall in the canon, and they end up crushed by the hammer

The fine fix for the Smarties Shooter is to hold the smarties while shooting but to let them go when they are hit by the hammer. Little soft fingers made out of pet (magnet’s) packaging at the end of the magazine does it

First flying  tests carrying the biscuit, the weight is fine (load up to 1kg) but the drone is blowing on the flat load he’s trying to lift, adding some dynamic weight to it…

We had to create artificial finger soft touch for the Serpentine Drone to hold those fragile paper ribbons and let them go completely

The first cream droppers released cream through a hole in the bottom, the way a bathtub does
