Why this AI drone is built as a 'hardest case': backflips to stress-test the training pipeline

Replying to a follower, Yacine explains his drone is deliberately built as a "hardest case": thrust will likely be lost to worse aerodynamics, and weight is pushed to the minimum. He chose these aggressive margins so he can attempt real-world backflips and other extreme maneuvers to stress-test how good his AI training pipeline really is.
