Drone Home First Ever Game

The game itself is super simple, and gameplay can literally last less than 10 seconds per round most times. My sons love this game. Unfortunately the drone included in the game is super fragile. There's no way to stop the drone once it takes off, and unless you're playing in a large empty room, it will more than likely slam the propeller into something at full throttle, guaranteeing that it will break something eventually. There's a set of propeller protection rings around the outside of each prop, and within 30 minutes of the first time playing with it, one of the hinges had broken off. Two attempts with epoxy and I was able to get the hinge attached strong enough that it wouldn't break with the lightest impact. Then it broke again when older brother wasn't being as careful and managed to bump it again. So we're back to the epoxy hospital for the third time in two days. Those that don't have epoxy or patience for repairing things probably want to stay away. I also don't understand some design decisions. - Why does the base require four AAA batteries? The drone is charged from a separate USB port between gameplay, so why does the base need power (especially 4 batteries worth) if it's just there to indicate that the drone is in the base? There's no other lights or anything else to power in this game. - The drone runtime once it launches is too long. It seems like it runs 5+ seconds, which is plenty of time for it to launch, fly off somewhere out of control, and bust itself on something as I mentioned previously. Why not run it for ~2 seconds (plenty of time to launch, but a lot less time to go break itself)? Also it would make sense for it to shutdown if it detected a tilt above a certain angle (but this would add cost and complexity since the sensor is more than likely not there already). - The alien characters are a bit tricky to get placed on the launcher in the right orientation, especially if you have larger hands. I guess that's part of the skill though. I can only hope that there are design improvements made to this game. It's a great concept and a lot of fun for kids, but I'm afraid many will be let down due to the poor quality and only get some short playtime out of this.
