New member testing!

Welcome aboard!

👍

Hi, I'm a new member to the DroneBot workshop forum.

I was hoping to find a way to upload photos, but that feature doesn't seem to be available to me yet.

@thrandell Did you try the attach files at the bottom of the reply section?

Nice.

Muh bad ill give this a whirl
