Two days ago, I and my colleagues from the department went out to test the drone I built for my final year project. Although this is not the first-time testing but actually the first time I am making video of it. I always forget to make a video every time I take it out to fly.
In this video, I didn't fly the drone because I haven't mastered how to fly the drone. I allowed my friends to give it a try. Although I have another video where the drone flew up and landed safely, I chose to share this particular one for a reason, and that is because we saw shege after this flight. What I meant by Shege is that we encountered a lot of challenges thereafter.
While trying to land the drone, it landed on the roof of the football stadium in the school which is about two Storey building or more. It was so high that we knew ourselves that no ladder we find can reach the top of the roof. We all started panicking and thinking how we would get the drone from the roof.
The building the drone landed on
We had to report to the people in charge of the sport center, but the man has a lot of negative vibes and trying to make us feel the situation was worse than it is. He said we cannot get ladder from him and even if we find, he cannot give us permission to climb the stadium. He directed us to meet the directorate of sports to ask if he can grant us the permission.
Initially he was telling us we would to have write and print a letter and then waiting for approval or have the letter sent to Dean of student affairs after directorate signs it. I was glad it didn't turn out to be that way, and that the Director of sport gave us straight permission to find how we can climb the roof to get the drone.
Climbing the roof was the difficult task, so we had to visit works and service, meet the director of works and service to give us ladder. At that point we met a carpenter that was working, who is the same person that we borrowed ladder from.

With how tall the ladder was, it was not tall enough for the building, the carpenter had to figure out a way to get to the ceiling without the ladder and gladly he was successful. The way he did it, we were surprised. It came to my thought that if we didn't have the carpenter around, it would have not been possible for any of us to figure a way to take the drone.
The walking up and down, shouting and figuring a way to take the drone out of that roof took over 3 hours. I was so exhausted and got home from school around 8pm.
This was the height of the shege this drone project had ever shown me. I thought the height was propeller breaking but I never thought it could go higher.
