Drones Galore: controlling multiple drones using mruby/ruby
summary
Explains a concrete workflow: control Tello drones over UDP sockets from ruby and mruby, compile mruby with the socket core gem and run the same code without require, use mrbc to emit a symbol table and C wrapper to build a single native binary, and coordinate multiple drones with Fibers and Ruby Actors or lightweight UDP sockets and Fibers. Demo shows two Tello units take off flip and land reliably with about five minutes flight per battery, so the multi‑drone acrobatics actually works.
