Comment on Texas Schools Add Attack Drones To Protect Students

“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?”
