Would guess 2 modern full-sized ag drones are still WAY cheaper and just as efficient than an autonomous Robbie sprayer. Would love to see the business case someone made for it, though. Can't image how they could make the numbers work. |

Robinson turning fully to unmanned would cut company insurance costs by 90%. |

I don't get it. What worthwhile missions would make economic sense to use an autonomous R44? Robbies are cheap, but useful payload, unit coat, A&P level maintenance, etc. |

The Robbie is a little newer. Hardly any maintenance with a Robinson except oil changes. No tt straps no grease fitting. Just the bs sfar. Other than that great machine. |
