The Project Unicorn Bets test kits are live on the web site

A Mil-Sim Drone Armament kit for dirt cheap ($11) eBay/AliExpress drones that makes use of their "flip" setting
comes as a 2 pack as we are testing different plastics
1 set HDPE(black) and 1 Set LDPE (white/translucent)
$3 at https://www.milsimlabs.com/

ITS HERE
IOS Meshtastic/TAK integration has finally become a thing

This is gong to be a game changer for 2026 events

Announcing native TAK Server integration in the Meshtastic iOS app, bridging mesh networking with situational awareness tools.

Got a production run of the toe poppers done yesterday , they hit the website 2/14/26! 3 for $12

Check the video as do to some of our beta testers tricks it can now be used as a impact gr***de when thrown like a Frisbee/Ninja star

This is a great demo on why we never bring a 3d printed product to market... aside from vastly higher strengths, surface finish and all the other engineering reasons......
its a time thing....
once the Morgan is dialed in, we are making a mine in under a min instead of one every 2h and 20m on the 3d printer
the printer would have to run for almost 10 days to make the 100 part run we did in under 2 hours

To fix the uneven part shrink we had to machine a complete new core side but was able to make changes to the cavity side of the mold to save it

Long story short the mine base plate in the top of the photo shrinks more then the top of the mine as the top has all sorts of holes and angles in the metal that stops the shrink so the molds have to be different sizes to make a part that is the same size and snap fits together. Makes my brain hurt!

That said I am now very happy with the fit/finish and end result, its sub 30 seconds to twist the two 1/2s off the sprue, load the 3 adult snap pyro charges and snap the unit together.

The mold is going to need changes to tighten up some tolerances (uneven shrink) , but the result is good enuf for performance and durability testing.
Here is it getting run over by a Toyota Tundra and taking no damage
As usual the recording doesn't do the sound justice, you could CLEARLY hear the mine going off inside the truck with the windows up!

We had 4 main design criteria for this project
1 Drone Deployable
2 Sub $5 retail price point
3 Sensitive enough for anti personal use
4 Robust enough for repeated anti vehicle use

#1 ended up being at odds with every thing else, and given the limited amount of "bomber" drones being fielded it was dropped

Everything else seems to be on track!!!!

Testing the durability of different plastics for the injection molded "Toe Popper" mine when deployed in a anti vehicle role.
