What attachment would you like to mount to your drone?
Seth Newsome
San Francisco, California [Carbon Fiber Acoustic Guitar]
A boombox. By day I could listen to my jams, and by night I could command an instant street party.
Kenji Yoshino
Grinnell, Iowa [Smartphone Digital Microscope]
A bunch of laser pointers. I would use it to round up and play with all the stray cats in town.
Sara Breselor
San Francisco, California [Hands-On Health Care]
I think my personal drone would carry a heat lamp for my perpetually cold hands.
Arvin Temkar
San Francisco, California [Regal Receiver]
I’d attach a vacuum nozzle so it could get all the places a Roomba can’t reach.
Lila Becker
Bellevue, Washington [Easy Mega Infinity Mirror]
I would definitely want a robotic arm attachment to be my robotic assistant in life activities such as bringing me a glass of water and my laundry.
