Rise of the Prop Drones

What is up you guys, this is SpaceKryptonite here to bring you
the rise of a meta breaking robot that has rippled a new evolution of drones
This type of evolution is one that breaks the balance and friction between pizza and tacos
Ladies and gents, we have been spotted by the rise of Propeller Drones
or to keep it short, prop drones
(prop is short for propeller in English)
So why is this type of drone so deadly and how is it on the rise
Just as a disclaimer, propeller stats used in this video may change in future updates
Let’s start off with discussing the new movement part known as propellers
These propellers comes in 2 forms
There’s the Propeller Tomahawk which is a Rare tier part and the Propeller Thunderbolt which is an Epic tier part
The health of these parts are pretty high compared to other movement parts in the game
but also uses a good chunk of CPU
This is not a huge problem since everyone has access to 2,000 CPU along with propellers serving a unique purpose
They are built to be strong enough to carry heavy flyers along with its primary ability of bi-directional force
This means you can apply force in two directions rather than just one
Ultimately, this helps a lot with building flyers since propellers are strong enough to fly without the need for thrusters
It's biggest strength is its windup time
The amount of time needed to accelerate to max speed is within a matter of seconds
The more propellers, the greater the effect
With Propellers recently released, we are still in its early stage of diving into what players have built
and inspirations that propellers has done for the universe of Robocraft
It only came out just yesterday. Calm down
If you are watching this in the future with a taco in your hand. I WILL----
With the all seeing eye of Reddit and Youtube videos
the discovery of prop drones came at an instant since the movement type compliments the purpose of drones
Drones are like the alpha when it comes to flying
They have the ability to move in a number of directions while maintaining speed and agility
but creating a Drone with propellers is insanity
In definition, I classify a drone as a robot that can move in ways that no other build is capable of doing
and not by the parts used to create it
Some could argue that drones need to have thrusters inside of a box and must have rudders and or helium
but it is all in the matter of perspective which creates diversity in the way we use the term drone
Now that we have the idea of what we are diving into
let’s jump into the creation of the Prop Drones
The first of its kind were a couple. No, not like that
There was the Sanic created by Alexborr
Drone NextGen created by Stille7
Drone 2.0 created by clement.serant
and a whole lot more prop drones that keeps popping up as I am scripting this video
Prop Drones are very fast, very stable when using camera control steering, and insanely maneuverable
Some builds utilize rotor blades on the back side of the robot to provide more stability
and others will use only propellers in all directions
This type of robot can move forward and back as well as side to side strafing with ease
What makes this deadly is that this robot can juke incoming damage like a boss
while providing damage to the enemy more quickly than what other drones are capable of doing
Prop Drones are quickly on the rise and players are improving its design
The future of this drone can be bright, but it is ultimately up to the player and… patch notes
but let’s enjoy the sun while it is setting
A new meta has evolved and the Prop Drone is one example on how a robot can break the meta
So that pretty much wraps it up for this video
Let me know in the comment section down below your experience against a prop drone
Is it something you think is good or is it something you think is bad
Definitely, I want to thank you guys for watching
