    @brief
        The DronePickup adds a Drone to the Pawn upon being picked up.

        It can be used in XML as follows:
        @code
        <DronePickup droneTemplate="myDroneTemplate" />
        @endcode
        Where <em>droneTemplate</em> specifies a @ref orxonox::Template "Template" based on which the Drone is created.
