The first trial run is a success, you manage to pilot the drone round the office and over to the bin.  Next to the bin is a small rubber designed to simulate a chocolate bar.  The drone arrives, sits there and looks at it.  This is going to be harder than you thought – unless your drone has some way of picking up loot, and storing it for the return trip then this isn’t going to be the ticket to riches that you are all expecting.  Alice and Tom are already looking round the office, their eyes scanning for parts.   Before too long a staple remover is connected to powerful servos and a form of cargo net is slung under the drone.  This time, when you approach the rubber sharp metal teeth sink into it and deposit it on the net, WOOT! LOOT!

The weaponry that Alice is making is working, almost too well.  It is pretty clear within a couple of minutes of testing that the drone cant take any damage at all – its a glass cannon.  During one of the test runs you tape some of the reinforced cardboard from packaging boxes to the underside of the drone.  Its pretty light and thin, but the multiple layers slow the physical projectiles down quite effectively – almost completely eliminating the penetration power of the first volley from Alices latest idea.  You spend some time with the office cutter and pretty soon have a pile of angled cardboard shapes ready to create a makeshift shell around your drone before it next leaves the office.

You had  walked past the pile of roofing nails every day for weeks.  They weren’t really very useful, but they were noticeable when they were gone.  Strange that how you notice the little things. 

A couple of days later Alice calls you aside – check THIS out she says excitedly.  Immediately, you aren’t very sure what you are looking at but slowly it dawns on you.   It ain’t the height of tech, that’s for sure.  In fact it looks a lot like what it is, a combination of a Biro, some fancy electronics and a very powerful spring.  She presses a button on her phone and immediately a sharpened roofing nail shoots out and embeds itself in the wall by your leg, sinking in a good 2 inches.  Erm nice? you say puzzled.  Then she turns it over and you see what looks like a very clever little mounting hook and suddenly you realise you are looking at the first ever drone mounted weapon.

Your jaw drops, and Alice squeals with excitement as she realises you finally get it. 

There is something empowering about mounting it on the frame of your drone, all of a sudden that simple package delivery drone has got some serious teeth……
