<Kicks self> Doh! Although since there is a computer in a drone, maybe they could claim it's a COTS computing device, and the propellers certainly are fans.

Now the question (assuming you accept the absurdity of a drone as a computing device) is how much modification do you get to do before a device is no longer COTS? Adding a tether seems like a pretty big mod. Or can you buy a tethered drone?
