Given | |
1) A drone can carry a recharge load for another drone | |
2) A drone can fly 2*X distance before a recharge | |
3) A drone must leave point A, reach point B, and return to point A. | |
If distance AB < X then no recharge is required. | |
If distance AB == 2X then | |
Drone 1 flies to <X | |
Drone 2 flies to <X, charges Drone 1, returns to A | |
Drone 1 flies to <2X | |
Drone 2 flies to >0X, charges Drone 1, returns to A | |
Drone 1 flies to 2X | |
Ah 1AM random thoughts that I don't have enough energy to put down full. In any case, the idea is that we can, as long as a drone is able to carry a full charge and return at X, cycle drones and charges to extend drone delivery ranges. |
