    Magnet for picker/dropper

    It moves alot, so does the magnet at the tip, but the rubber sheath of the cable somehow dampens its jolts. Will see how It behaves with a longer cable. (And a proper mag) If It pops interferences anyways I'll abandon the project. Losing heading midflight would be too dangerous for the drone...
