"Kudos bro. AI is the future, let's get there together."

"Good work,, take this as a project even after school, keep improving at different aspects, balancing, altitude, video quality, etc that is how to succeed."

John Elisha Bahago said:

"Engineering is sweet and mind-blowing. proud of your achievement. great work."

"Good job but I think the weight was not well balanced reason for the shaking and again the materials used, light weight metals like aluminum alloys should be considered."
