Drone Petting Station
We added a "Drone Petting Station" to the 10th CTO Roundtable Summit!
As with other innovations in the last century, the drone technology did not grow from a single point. It took root in garages, on workbenches, and in the backyards of thousands, who tinkered, refined, played and coded for the love of the potential. It's one thing to read about and discuss, but quite another to go hands on with the potential that has been rapidly outpacing regulation.
A small team of local innovators from Gannett (Bill Frischling, Kevin Goff, Liam Oliver, and Rob Klause) was onsite with their fleet of drones, some store bought, others built from scratch. You were able to watch them fly, see what makes them work, and learn from a group that has been discovering their potential for both work and fun through hundreds of hours of personal experience.
