Maybe they're not able to use stairs

Folk här slänger sopsäckar med skräp ute på gatan, tror ingen kommer bry sig om kläder hamnar lite fel

Drones are controlled by varying the speed of the motors while helicopters are controlled by varying the pitch of the blades at various points in the rotation. If a motor fails on a drone then it's lost, there is no way of controlling it. The helicopter rotor will spin while falling and the pilot can then mechanically control the pitch of the blades purely mechanically which gives some control.

The change of pitch in the helicopter rotor throughout the rotation can be seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0shLv2_Rtnc

Could it be the dampers? When you slow down or brake the weight will shift forward which will move the dampers. Does it also happen when accelerating?

Psych reference?

Hopefully it means a reduced mass since the booster doesn't need any landing legs which means more performance. The idea is that boosters should be quickly reusable, basically landing and being refueled before flying again. That would take more time with a separate landing location

I think you would want to find a new form factor to really utilise the flexibility. I feel like this is now just a flimsy arduino where you can't really explore the flexibility.

Like using horizontal connectors or even have connectors for flex cables

It's not necessarily dead just taken out of combat, a lot are wounded and unable to fight.
