Im impressed how well the drones scared of the thieves, Id love to see a mark II of these drones

[MemerMan]

Honestly, seeing these security drones work really well makes me wonder, what if Hacksmith with security drones, Mark Rober with glitter drones, and Michael Reeves with attack drones all tried making a project with all their inventions together?
Still exciting to see projects like these work really well!

[samtaylor]

despite not being a massive project, this was one of the funnest videos yet. I'd love to see a sequel to it

[HaruFujimori]

Lol I love just seeing the thieves freak out over the alarm system and then darting out of the property lol 😂you guys should totally make a part 2 by making some more cool upgrades for your guy’s Security Drones! 👍🏻🛠

[huskerbusker]

I loved this idea, definitely need a part 2. Would anyone else also like to see a Mark Rober-esque package thief video? It could be for packages, but I was thinking maybe for cars? I would love to see the Hacksmith Industries fight car theft in Canada and maybe come up with some electronic and physical ways to fix the rampant OBD port vulnerability (merch shop ideas maybe?)

[colin]

I work with security systems but this is on a whole other level!
So glad to see guys like "Steve" getting caught.

[SpongeBob-DK]

Not only do we want a part 2 - you could make this into an entire show helping other companies :-) Absolutely love it

[milolouis]

That is the coolest thing ever. The programmer guy deserves a medal. If there's any other work for programmer/engineers I'd interview in a heartbeat.

[Pluuton]

You say it’s unfortunate for us that we didn’t see more thieves getting scared. I’m bloody satisfied anyhow with this vid. I loved how complete it felt. And great that it worked

[kwmcgreal]

You could totally set this up on other properties that are getting robbed to get more content!

[flashbacker]

Some of the truest hacksmith behavior right there. People wanna rob us? Have fun robbing a place protected by a literal drone swarm. The siren and light honestly were a brilliant idea, because they trigger the theifs fight or flight, and since they have no idea what they're fighting, they'll almost always choose flight. Brilliantly done, and incredible AI too, that level is not easy in any sense of the word!

[garrettord]

I love the idea of these drones as active security. Just shining a light and camera on intruders is a powerful deterrent.
Granted, the automated light on a turreted system shows just how easy it would be to weaponize something like this, even for a casual mid-budget builder.

[FranklyBuilt]

This was such a cool idea! Maybe as you creep into V2 you could design a better cage system around the drone for protection, could even 3D print it from flexible materials.

Also just making a “catch net” around the landing pad could help immensely. Like 3ft wide boarders around it at a slight up-angle to help the drop slide down to the charging pad when it lands or slightly misses?

[nightrunnermcpro]

Even if the drones don't scare off people 100% of the time, it's still neat that it can help aid the cops into knowing where the the thief would be. I mean it's kind of hard to miss when they're under a spotlight with a siren blaring above their head. Pretty dang neat

[OneJumpMan]

You guys should try and see if Mark Robert has any interest in doing a part 2 with you guys! Would be an awesome collab package thieves series even though he just ended it. Awesome job guys seems like they work better than you give them credit for

[JonLinde]

Love it, but I would like to see MarkII with a few improvements:

A)
Replace paint bombs with paintball marker auto gun.

B)
Better landing pad with weather protection.

Maybe use some strong magnets to lock the drones onto the landing pad - and electromagnets to release it for takeoff.

IR diodes can be used to improve landing precision.

Place the landing/charge pad on rails, so the drone can be rolled into some form of hangar.

[genuinefaux]

100% would be interested in a second part, this looks like it has a lot of potential for both security and content

[Lynxdeer]

I think it might be cool and more terrifying if you had a red laser on the drone that would lock on to the "target." It'd be pretty awesome, and would probably be a lot more scary.

[Omnicrola]

On the one hand, it's impressive how effective just the presence of the drones are as a deterrent. OTOH, for storytelling reasons I really want one or more thieves to escalate and get into a battle of technological wits with our Hacksmith team. Also makes me wonder how many (if any) thieves are repeat "customers".

[Rakushi_Snea]

This is EXACTLY what I always pictured drones being used for as a kid.
