What are some of the biggest challenges that you had when working on the drones?
Was there anything that really threw a wrench in the works?
Or was it overall kind of just smooth sailing as you developed them?
Tobias
uh yeah i mean there's there's a lot of challenges with it because it's such a big feature um you basically need to keep in mind everything that can go wrong as you're working on it so for example uh what happens if you dismantle all the stations in the world and then you just have your drone stuck in the air what happens if you dismantle a drone which is
docked at a station and all kinds of things like that.
And even just like having two drones arrive at the same station at the same time, what should happen in that case?
Jace
So it's all about like those weird edge cases, I guess.
Tobias
Yeah, exactly.
And you need to keep them all in mind at all times during development as well.
Jace
Right, right.
Sounds rough.
So I guess
Tobias
it
Jace
was that and the pathing, I guess, was the other biggest thing.
Tobias
Yeah.
And just making them work in general.
So there's a lot of moving parts to this feature.
Jace
Nice, nice.
Must feel good to have got it all together.
Tobias
Oh yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
