    No, all drones are pilotless. Hence the name. Some are guided by computers. Some are guided by humans a thousand miles away. If pilot means remotely flying a plane than ever RC hobbyist is a pilot

    A budget that can't be passed by the Senate and won't be signed by the President is not a real budget. It's a hope that they can still get reelected in their gerrymandered districts and still remain relevant.

    The sequester only happened because they couldn't actually make a real budget. They might have cut more by % but not by actual size or dollars.

    Over 75% of the people I spoke with out of over 3000 said the number one thing they want is to cut spending, cut taxes, and reduce the reach of the federal government.

    Unless it involves cutting our absurdly bloated defense department and DHS. Anything to keep us safe.

    Yes, all things we buy are metered. From their listed costs per cabinet, it appears they bought current gear, and current gear is upgradeable via slide in replacement trays.A cursory search shows plenty of competitions. A small co-op would need advice, or they might get suckered.
