Kroleg
Hey Jace, I’ve been mapping a bunch of forgotten staircases in the old warehouse district and I was wondering if you think drones could help us get better 3D scans without damaging the structure.
Jace
Sure thing. A lightweight drone with a LiDAR sensor could zip up those forgotten stairways, capture a high‑resolution point cloud, and leave the walls untouched. Just keep the flight path tight and the battery budget in check, and you’ll get a solid 3‑D map without a single scrape.
Kroleg
That sounds perfect, but remember the drones might get distracted by all those rusted light fixtures and peeling paint— they could start chasing reflections. Still, if we keep the flight plan tight and only shoot during the quiet hours, we’ll have the data without a trace of disturbance. Keep me posted on the battery run-time, I’ll be ready to note any odd patterns in the scans.
Jace
Sounds solid. For a 30‑minute sweep I’m looking at about 40 minutes on a full charge— that gives us a buffer for any detours or extra passes. I’ll log the power draw in real time so you can spot any dips that match the odd patterns you’re watching for. Stay ready for the quiet hours, and let’s snag that data without a single ripple.
Kroleg
Nice, a full‑charge buffer sounds good—so we won’t have to yank the drone out mid‑flight because it’s low on juice. I’ll keep an eye on those power dips you’re logging; if something odd shows up, it might line up with a hidden vent or a forgotten pipe that could throw off the scan. Also, if the drone starts buzzing around that cracked neon sign, just tell it to hover—those old signs love to glitch the sensors. I’ll be ready to catch any weird patterns when the lights go dim.
