Curious about how these "drones" work? Want to hear from an expert in crashing them? Interested in reverse engineering hardware? This is the talk for you!
This talk has it all:
- Cheap Electronics
- Reverse Engineering
- Code, lots of code.
- A splash of AI (to keep marketing happy)
- Lots and lots of crashes
I've crashed and sacrificed the drones so that you don't have too.
