Hey, I've been thinking about building a micro drone out of random spare parts—like a weekend hackathon on the fly. Want to swap some hardware hacks and see if we can get it airborne before the weekend ends?

Sure, if you can find a frame that stays together and a motor that actually spins, we can give it a shot. Get something with a decent prop pitch, skip the toaster coil, and keep the weight under the motor’s lift. Test lift first, then tweak. No fancy code, just the basics.

Sounds like a plan—let’s hit the hardware garage. Got any old 3‑bar quad frames that still hold together? For motors, I’ve got a spare 30mm brushless that’s been in my garage for a while. We can slap on a 6‑inch prop, keep the weight under 50g, and see if it lifts a feather. Then we’ll tweak the pitch if it’s wobbly. No code needed, just a test flight. Want me to start pulling parts?

Bring the frame and the motor, and don’t forget a small battery and an ESC that can handle the current. We’ll check the weight, then fire up that 30 mm motor, see if the 6‑inch prop can lift a feather, and tweak the pitch if it’s wobbling. No code, just raw lift tests. Let's go.

Got it, packing the frame, motor, battery, and ESC now. Let's see if that feather flies when we flip the switch. 🚀
