Got a wild idea: let’s build a self‑propelled drone that can scout hidden coves for treasure, while also snapping those epic landscape shots for my portfolio. We’ll map out the flight path algorithmically, but I hear you love a good mystery at sea—ready to dive in?

Great, let’s start with a specs sheet: battery life, sensor suite, gimbal specs, and a 30‑minute flight budget per run. We’ll prototype the controller firmware in C++ so we can tweak the PID loops fast. Once we get the airframe built, I’ll run a simulation to fine‑tune the autonomous path planning, then we’ll test it in a mock harbor. If we hit a snag, we’ll refactor the code in 30‑minute increments—no wasted minutes. And hey, if the drone can capture the right angle, we’ll name that shot “Finnish Nightfall” to honor our future language goals.
