11Droke Placement
Now place the Droke onto the frame, and have the ESP32 neatly tucked into the Droke as in the image on the right.
Also ensure that you secure the Droke to the drone frame using the zip ties. There should be gaps in the frame that you can use to slot the zip ties through.

You'll need some string to tie it onto the flatch:
You can tie it on like this:

15Final Reflections
At the end of the project, I can only look back and be proud of how it came out. The journey was a long and challenging one and required lots of support from many different people who I do not take for granted.
Whether delivery drones become a reality or not depends on a variety of factors, but I hope they lead to a future that is better for humanity 💫. This is a revolutionary concept that, with time, can drastically transform the way in which the world operates. But until then, I hope you enjoy it and use your drone responsibly. I'm merely a guy who liked flying his drone around and thought of a way for it to deliver stuff. So, have fun—responsibly, and I hope you enjoyed this instructable and have fun building your own 👋.
