Some Finnish people have built a drone-mounted chainsaw and one can ask what could possibly go wrong? It reminds somehow of the Mantrid Drones if anyone recall those. The drone is capable of sawing fir branches and icicles. So it can actually be of use.

    I can figure the rest out, but not sure what "sawing fin and chopping ice taps" is supposed to mean.

      Based on watching the video, I suspect it's sawing fir (as in the tree), and 'ice taps' are icicles. My hovercraft is full of eels, and all that.

        For some reason I had assumed that chopping "ice taps" referred to chopping holes in frozen lakes to fish. Guess I should've marked that one as well.

      You shouldn't have to figure it out, it simply shouldn't have been written by a sloppy person with no respect for the written word. Not all of us move our lips when we read!
