    “The high-tech drones, which are piloted by a team of former military men and nationally ranked professional drone racers”

    Given that these are being controlled from a remote site, I’m surprised there’s so little latency involved with that they can accurately fly at 100mph.

    (I’m guessing they’re not straight-up using RF to control them given the need for the tiny drones to broadcast video over large distances - I assume they’re relying on internet + WiFi.)

    Also this quote from the CEO:

    “It costs about $1,000 per month for a school of 500 students, or roughly $4 per student”

    Does not instill confidence.

    “What’s $1000 / 500? … $4?”
