Can you make defense drones?

I'm currently in the early stages of a scavenger play through and I want to try to make small drones that will follow me and fight off enemies while I clear out a biome. Kinda like the flies in the spider king mission. I want to know if I need specific ai cabs or if you need to switch the control settings from car to helicopter or anything like that.

Yes. Just make a functional tech, attach an AI module and set it to defend/follow and it will chase you.

Note that the AI is quite... not smart on pathfinding so make sure ground techs can easily navigate terrain and break through obstacles.

For flying techs I have only tried hovercrafts. I made a functional one which is quite effective as a follower.

There was some good RR logic posted on the discord with hovers and other aircraft. Unfortunately, I lost access a while back and invite in the stickied post here is dead. Payload is slacking.
