Biggest take away for me was the difference between engineer thoughts and farmer reality. |
I read this article as well and really appreciate their candor about their assumptions and then their results.
It always amazes me when a company develops a product for a particular user group, but fails to learn from the group what they need before hand.
At least this company stuck it out and made these "Drones" useful and productive.
As for me and my drone, we just have a lot of fun!
