[QUOTE="Uale, post: 107222, member: 19560"] Hi, I am going to revive this because I am quite interested in the same use case. I would imagine that you do not need a very precise landing to achieve this if we use a design solution instead of an engineering solution. For example, we could 3D print a sort of basin design to allow the Spark to land within its whatever margin of error and by gravity or otherwise slide it to the centre after landing where the metal contact points are. That will also be the position of the mechanical pusher to power up the spark after a full charge. The required duration of coverage vis a vis charge time, battery endurance, distance to target, time required to let battery cool, etc is just a matter of math and more sparks. Correct me if I am wrong but I remember seeing on youtube that the dji charging station automatically power down the spark when it is placed in the station. So maybe that auto-off function when charging via the metal contacts is already in place? Let me know how you have progressed about with this! [/QUOTE]
