Description[]
Drone Duty is an autonomously-controlled all-electric member of the "Duty" series of trucks. It is named as such due to the autonomous drone system mounted on top of its body, using cameras and a LIDAR to navigate; despite this the car features two robotic drivers lying down controlling the car in dual side pods. This vehicle is treated as a rescue vehicle which launches a drone for rescue operations.
This casting features a removable body that is friction-fitted onto two tabs in the base. Both the body and base are made of plastic, with the only metal portion being the metallic "chassis" in the middle of the model.
