@VisforVeteran don't know where the 20k figure is from. but our midsummer fpv is cheaper than the one in picture. half the point of the product. cheaper-than-china
handsome guy there to the right
fun fact, this was 00:30 at night when we convinced pete to come the basement. of course, our autistic team was still at work π€
I met the @industriestenet founders while visiting KTH in Stockholm this January. They invited me to tour their basement lab and showed me an early prototype of their quad drone.
They were obsessed with deleting unnecessary parts. When I left they handed me a 'business card': a custom PCB they'd designed to replace four boards on a standard quad.
Defense primes build Bugattis. The army is begging for an F-150.
A founder in our batch is building munitions backwards: start at 'what can we stamp out for $20k?' and make the engineers hit it.
@GrandNagus_@ycombinator@industriestenet@anduriltech that's a scam. sure anduril is 10-100x cheaper than legacy primes. but that's still 10x more expensive than comparable consumer products. it sets a low bar for manufacturability and thus scalability.
