Drone

**Drones** are a species of robot invented by Dr.Droning for a wide-variety of uses, such as keeping company, factory work, computation, and warfare. Most Drones have emotions due to Dr. Droning's peaceful intent when inventing them, and for this reason, removing it out requires some hacking in order to do.

## Models

Drones have gone through many renditions over their 40-50 year lifespan. Here are a list of some of their versions.

### Proto-Drone

A few drone prototypes were seen in the last chapter of The Droning Ventures, but not much detail has gone into them.

### Drone v1.0

These types of drones are uncommon to see, as they have either been upgraded to some of the later versions (good examples being Grandmaster Drone and Kill Drone) or have been left out to rust. The few that still function do not posses the computing power of some of the later models, so they are unable to have as much emotion and intelligence.

### Drone v1.x

This drone model is one of the most common and recognizable models among people who come into contact with Drones. All drones that aren't v1.0s are probably this model in all arcs pre-TDV, when Drone 2.0s were introduced.

### Mini Drone v1.x

Mini-Drones are very special versions of the basic Drone, as they have a port on the bottom which can be used to reprogram unprotected Drone v1.xs. Prominent examples of this model include Reprogram Drone, Info Drone, and Scan Drone.

### Bootleg v1.x Drones

Bootleg 1.x drones are usually homemade drones that copycat the general design of v1.x Drones while not following some of the protocols set in place by Droning. These drones can be made out easily due to most of them having abnormal eye colors or absurdly wacky designs. Not many of these models exist post-TDV. These are unable to be controlled with Droning's Kill Switch.

### Drone v2.0

Drone v2.0s were invented by The Ice Crew in the fight against Droning as a superior model to the model Droning used. The main advantage of Drone 2.0s is their side ports, which allow for easier customization / applications of Drones.

### Drone v2.1

Literally the same as 2.0 except there is a metal flap covering the chip port

### Chaotiverse Drones

Chaotiverse Drones were invented by Luna during the events of the New Vextrius Arc in the Chaotiverse. They tend to have most of the features of 2.1s. However, they are smaller compared to normal 5x5 drones, and are mostly used and made by people of the Chaotiverse

## Drone Protocol

These rules were put in place by Droning in order to prevent unethical use of his invention, and to standardize how all drones look and behave. Modified drones can have some of these protocol removed if the modifier wishes to do so.

### Drone Size

Conventional drone sizes tend to be multiples of 5 studs cubed, excluding mini drones, which are 3x3x3 and have square-shaped eyes. On the other hand, Chaotiverse drone sizes tend to be multiples of 4 studs cubed.

### Drone eyes

Drone eye colors represent loyalty in unmodified v1.x models. However, "Cracked" v1.x and v2.0s can have any eye color but tend to still abide by these color rules.

### Droning Kill Switch

v1.x Drones are produced with a chip that allows them to be remote controlled by Dr. Droning if he so wishes.
