Future possibilities

There are some points that can be improved. For example: the clicksystem and the landing support. Now the spray mechanism gets attached onto the drone with zipties. I choose for this because no matter how big the drone is, zip ties always get the perfect strength and length. It is also cheap, can easily be found and easy to replace. What i would like to change about this, is something that can be reused. Maybe velcro would be a nice option to explore?

The landing support is something that i do not have right now. This could be something easy to 3D print or lasercut. I do know that adding this landing support will also add weight onto the spray... Maybe a special landing platform that does not go up in the air with the drone is another idea i need to further explore.

Dissimination plan

The spray system is something i'd like to continue working on and improve. It would be interesting to find someone who would like to invest some time in this project to help me improve it and showcase it to people who could use or be interested in it. To do that, it would be good to have an improved version of this spray mechanism.
