[@ariadne1428]

Incredible how drones are revolutionizing not just surveillance but also practical applications in infrastructure and safety. The work on the dams is particularly impressive!

[@rodmatsumoto]

It’s inspiring to see how drones can make such a positive impact. His story of perseverance and innovation really stood out.

[@sadiaykor]

Love that this started as a solution to a local problem! You know you're on to something good when it makes a global impact

[@averagestudent4632]

This presentation was a breath of fresh air! It’s great to see innovative minds applying new tech in ways that enhance safety and efficiency.

[@haileypattern7666]

Fantastic use of drone technology to handle dangerous tasks! Reducing human risk in such scenarios is a huge advancement

[@Lauren-im7pe]

Far out there are some brilliant people in this world. Such amazing innovation.

[@orlageary5104]

this drone talk was way more interesting than i thought it'd be. he's got me thinking about all the cool stuff we could do with flying robots.

[@wadecampster]

this talk was way better than I expected. never thought I'd be so hyped about drones

[@bluedefender2325]

Pretty impessed by the ingenuity of this guy! Especially his approach to problem-solving. It's a reminder that innovation often starts with a simple "yes"

[@SimonOatsStoryteller]

Congratulations Andrew! Awesome work!

[@thefast_and_the_curious]

This is awesome! Makes me wonder what other cool stuff drones could do that we haven't thought of yet

[@gailspordard]

Applause!! It's a rare person that sees a need and does something about it instead of waiting for others.

[@1dougrad1]

Great talk, congratulations Andy!! Excited to see what the next problem you'll take on will be!

[@andrewdavies5147]

Thank you

[@claireblackett5230]

Well done Andy! Super interesting talk and it's great to see all your hard work paying off.👏👏👏

[@andrewdavies5147]

Thanks Claire :)

[@pleaseinspiremetoday]

it's wild how solving one problem led to so many other applications. goes to show you never know where an idea might lead

[@sarah-janeohara]

Such awesome innovation! Totally Rad!

[@johnjjgravely]

love how they MacGyver'd their way through problems. reminds me of building stuff with my dad as a kid

[@mahmoodhussein7639]

an outstanding and inspiring story Andrew, thanks for sharing.

[@andrewdavies5147]

Thank you Mahmood :)

[@TheO835]

Fantastic talk 🎉

[@andrewdavies5147]

Thank you Theo

[@catelynrichards5051]

Absolutely awesome!

[@katarinabloom]

love how they're solving real problems, not just making another silly app

[@QuickShareMcDare]

As someone who's terrified of heights, I'm all for these drones doing the dangerous stuff lol

[@skyec8562]

this talk's got me wondering what other tech we're afraid of now that might end up being super useful in the future!

[@benjamingdorey]

gotta admit, i laughed at first when he said they were gonna light fires with drones. not laughing now, that's some serious innovation

[@asikahoinka]

I get that this is a really cool and innovative way of using drones but I can't help but wonder about the environmental impact, especially on delicate ecosystems

[@therealmeisme]

ntebt using drones to make controlled burns safer is genius. why didn't anyone think of this before?

[@OfficialAndrewDavies]

That's what I thought! Crazy hey.

[@georgenotbest]

always thought drones were just for military stuff and annoying people at the beach lol this talk opened my eyes... maybe I shouldn't be so quick to hate on new tech

[@calvinhostetler]

kinda wild how a random meeting on a yacht started all this. talk about lucky breaks!

[@13MYSTIX13]

I'm genuinely impressed that drones are making dangerous jobs safer.

[@michealdrozd]

As cool as this is, I'm concerned about job displacement. I feel like every time a task becomes automated it just takes opportunities away from someone who was doing it manually

[@sergeymarushckin]

I'm not sure if I want to see where tech takes us in another 20 years.

[@luisasanchez5532]

I can't believe his "yes first, figure it out later" attitude lol that kind of thinking legit gives me anxiety

[@riddermartijn]

hope they're being super careful with those flammable liquids. sounds kinda sketchy tbh

[@leodancingsanders]

How was he able to give so much time to this? Was he working a job at the same time? Or just living off money saved from the mines?
