It lit up the comments — including a sharp, fair correction from someone who was building experimental UAV hardware back in the 1990s. His point landed: drone technology didn’t begin with a little blue board on a hobbyist workbench. Long before Arduino existed, serious engineers in research labs, defense programs, and aerospace shops were already flying autopilots, testing em
