If you see a drone flying around with tennis shoes tied to it..

[-] rickdg@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

They kind of loud, though

[-] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

They're not that loud though. Unless they're really close you'd probably just ignore them unless you knew to be looking for it. Especially if you're flying deliberately and not just randomly taking turns or stopping.

They make tools for drones that let you remotely control extra addons attached to them. In particular something that can remotely drop a payload could let you fly by essentially unnoticed easily.
