Dr. One (drone launcher)

I made some changed for the update to Unity 5! See the change log for details.

Now, on to the original description.

This drone launcher is my entry for Besiege's July drone contest!

Features:

* 9 deployable, bomb-carrying drones
* 2 cannons, a flamethrower, a saw, and a grabber arm
* Chassis is immune to fire and enemy weapons.
* Whole machine can withstand high falls. (See video)
* Ground component was made fast with bsg editing.

Controls:

↑ = forward
← or → = steer
← and → = reverse

↓ = flamethrower
1 = left cannon
2 = right cannon

z = piston
x = rear hinge down
c = rear hinge up
v = rear grabber

[7][8][9]
[4][5][6]
[1][2][3] = release grabber to launch each respective drone

...[ i ]...[ p ]...[ ] ]
...[ j ]...[ l ]...[ ' ]
...[ n ]...[ , ]...[ / ] = flying spiral on each respective drone

[ u ]...[ o ]...[ [ ]...
[ h ]...[ k ]...[ ; ]...
[ b ]...[ m ]...[ . ]... = grabber on each respective drone

Each drone spins and wobbles continuously as it flies, and the key is to use the flying spiral more when it's facing in the direction you want to go. Holding the flying spiral button tends to pull the craft horizontal and give more lateral motion, whereas feathering it tends to keep the craft more upright and give more lift.
