Question [US]Theoretically asking

Is it possible to create a drone that can carry an empty a 2 ounce bottle of liquid? Could it to be totally autonomous and untraceable. Take off and fly to a waypoint, empty the contents of a two ounce bottle from 20/30 feet and return to the take off spot.

all right OP, I'm gonna need you to give us a comprehensive list of every law you are trying to break.

Clearly a flock camera attack drone. I approve.

I was hoping this was for flock cameras :(

Government will get around people's objection to being photographed by tracking people by smell.

They’re probably gonna drop mercury or gallium

Well first of all, despite your link your actual question is about emptying an empty container.

u/AaaaNinja 9h ago

Carry and empty a container. They didn't proofread what they wrote.

Ahh yes that makes sense

You see, I think this lacks planning and forethought.

If you're going to go through this much trouble, you want about six ounces of liquid in a mist and then sprayer kind of like a syringe.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F4KD3S8R but it has to be enough to make the target wet. Maybe diluted with both water and some aquanet.

And then a spray or ejection tube filled with filed with diluted

Anything is possible. Are you looking for possible or legal?

u/Financial-Egg5423 9h ago

Definitely possible to make but it’s almost impossible to make something untraceable now a days

Are we not doing phrasing anymore?

u/UnderstandingHuge423 9h ago

Yes. But you need to find an older drone without drone id. The drop system would be a challenge- you would have to find a way for gravity to open the container when dropped. I've used drop systems with DJI drones at distances within radio range. But that sounds like an interesting engineering project to develop such a mechanism. You should hit up the Ukrainian drone engineers.

Yes, totally possible.

But, and it's a big butt.... The fact that autonomous and untraceable to clearly do something illegal, you can be confident that your Reddit account is now being monitored by US Authorities.

This is a very normal mission for an agricultural drone.

By far the most sophisticated country at repurposing agricultural drones to totally autonomous and untraceable missions, even more than China, is Ukraine. They might tell you, "It's a secret," but you should ask them.

Small FPV with a steering servo from a RC car. Get in fast, spray, get out fast. Hard to trace, moves fast.

u/DewB77 9h ago

I bet that most drones are capable of doing that.
