My initial thought was possibly two coat hangers could do a good job of hooking on, but then getting unhooked would require more skill and risk... Maybe a servo or small solenoid could rotate a small aluminum stick 90° and act as a latch combined with the coat hangers. So in case of like really high winds the drone has higher survivability. The design of having to fling the drone up into the power line seems more difficult to achieve than say two hooks on the top of the drone...
Guys, invest in a really large net!
I bet it would have paid for itself in this video alone!
Fantasitic work! The world will be changed.
I know it's all part of the development cycle, but those crashes are still painful!
They don't feel a thing :)
@@CubbyTech I do...
Thanks for your efforts to advance technology.

great idea and design! any engineering effort will require some trial and error. I second the 'big net' idea.
R&D videos are always entertaining
Is that the German accent?
