Walkie talkie on drones?

[Melvoid]

What they SHOULD include is a button on the remote that will cause the tones to play. That way, if you go down in a field of tall grass, or in the woods, you can "blow the horn" and maybe it'll be a tad easier to find the thing. It's already got the "speaker," so why not just a button to trigger it?

Actually no speaker.

It uses the motors as transducers.

My first thought when I read the OP - "Attention, people of Earth...this is the Vogon Destructor Fleet...."

Why not just check the position on the map of the Go app?

A terrible idea! There is enough "drone anxiety" about spying with drones or about drone noise. Next thing you know, the "ban drone" forces will increase their number as they lobby against drones. Again ... very bad idea!

Amazon just patented this:

Currently developing a multi payload drop device for search and rescue. One of the things that came up was a way to communicate instructions from the drone before delivering the payload.

Hadn't thought of that... but if it's hung up in trees, the sound would still be nice.

As opposed the red and green blinking lights already on it?
