Yeah, definite neato factor but by eyeball at least I feel like I could do that bend by hand within a mm tolerance of this. Hard to imagine this precision is needed. Makes sense if mass producing these I guess.

This is a workshop for combat FPV drones, so precision is extremely important.

  Interesting. Important for balancing? Or does the signal reception really depend on that much precision? I’m Suprised to learn that either way.

    They have to operate at very long distances in an electronic-warfare saturated environment. Even the tiniest imperfections can be the difference life and death.

  Dunno how to feel… Excited because it looks cool or sad that it will be used to kill someone. The world has gotten depressing

I make a lot of stuff and I don’t think I could bend it that precisely by hand. Also I would take much much longer.

I think the black thing they show at the end is the usual tool to do it, this just looks like 20 extra needless steps.

It’s for bulk building drones you have into the faces of occupiers, good enough is necessary perfect is not.
