So as I've stated, my intention right now is that I'm making a series of drones, all with names from Greek mythology and all with abilities and purposes in line with their nomenclature.

Right now, I'm still waiting on my computer to be fixed so that I can actually build anything, so I apologise that right now this is essentially a catalogue index with no contents. Hopefully it at least gives you an idea of my overall plan.

Note: From hereon, I'm writing from the fictional perspective of a sales rep for the titular company. Just thought I'd point that out.

Drone Technology

Open Testing

1. 
   • This aerial-terrestrial attack drone will ensure no enemy dares tempt your wrath.
2. 
   • Keep the family dog in your sights or hunt the largest game, Artemis lets you do it all from the comfort of your living room.
3. 
   • Whether you want to enhance the cognitive abilities of every drone in your control or simply calculate your tax returns, Athena computing can do it all in the blink of an eye.
4. 
   • #No information regarding this drone type is available at this time#
5. 
   • Equipped with a wide array of built-in automated actions, the Hephaestus drones feature our original intercommunication technology and of course they can repair all but the most devastating damage to any drone. Buy one today and watch as your contraptions ensure their own survival!
6. 
   • Friends or enemies playing tricks on you? Keep mischievous drones in line with the Hera security system.
7. 
   • Having trouble passing notes in class? Does the standard chat relay just seem inadequate for your uses? The all-new Hermes communication and transport drone is just the tool for you! With a potentially unlimited message capacity and the ability to carry any object placed beneath it, the Hermes ensures prompt and efficient delivery for all your needs.
8. 
   • Whether it's your car keys or an entire sunken ship, Poseidon will find it and ensure you're the only one to covet it's treasures.
9. 
   • They say lightning never strikes twice, with Zeus in your airspace you can prove them wrong time and time again!

Nice plans And I'm sure they will all be done.

I know what Hades can be: A minge contraption

[malum]

Hades is actually a fully sentient drone that is capable of destroying the real life world.

Sorry for leaking Lying

[Lyinginbedmon]

You're both semi-right, but mostly wrong.

Either way you don't want to meet Hades in a dark alley. Not that meeting him in broad daylight will do you much good either...

Drone Ecology - What drones get up to when Master isn't around!

Due to pre-programmed actions and intercommunication networking, your drones can perform a variety of tasks without any input from you. This is designed to alleviate the stress of telling your drones to do every little task, as was present in earlier drones by other companies, such as Valhalla Incorporated.

The pinnacle of this programming is the "Number Six" protocol, which allows your drones to do whatever they personally prefer whilst you are away.

That's right, your drones now develop their very own personalities!

Just set the Director action setting to 13 and the drones will automatically create a list of actions they prefer doing over other actions. With the intercommunication network between drones, this means you can just sit back and watch as your drones form their own cliques and primitive governments.

Will Athena-1 take Ares-7 to the drone prom (Ramble & Spawn, if Ares-7 plays his cards right!), or will she play it safe and take Hermes-14 to explore the dark back room of gm_construct? Even Hephaestus-9 doesn't dare go back there!

Lol, I must say, huge amounts of cookies await if you manage to do this
It sounds awesome!

[characterBreak]It's pretty easy if you know what you're doing, most of the code is actually just calling subroutines, especially the Director actions. More than half of it is a programmed sequence of actions.

Basically, there's a few inputs that tell each drone certain variables in their environment. Depending on how those variables change, they do something. That's the very simplistic basis, all that's really happening is I'm taking it to an extreme not normally seen. The two mechanics I can think of as being in any way close to new or unique with the drones is their intercommunication and repair capacity.

It all boils down to a little ingenuity and a whole lot of time.[/characterBreak]

You HAVE to post a video when these are built.

[Bobsymalone]

This will be truly epic. Even if you don't manage everything (I hope you do though), you'll end up with something great.

[characterBreak]What would you say if I hinted there was another drone series in my head after this one?[/characterBreak]
