"WeRobotics has their hand in all of the most interesting drone projects I've seen e.g. dropping mosquitoes, drone delivery, disaster relief and all in exotic (and difficult) locations. Good challenge for anyone up to the test."

"We found there was definitely an offset of some size without the survey grade GPS, but didn't make comparisons day over day to see how much it moved. We haven't tried anything with PPP yet either."
