What inspired you to make this project?:
Well, saving lives, and doing so in a way that has not been done before. A few years ago, I stumbled upon an article outlining the inefficiency of the disaster response system following the earthquake in Haiti of 2010. Being enthusiastic about aerial vehicles, I came up with a solution.
