Python Drone

Python Drones

This program is a curriculum-based program that teaches computer science skills and the Python programming language in a team setting through hands-on use of a Tello EDU minidrone. After utilizing the curriculum in the classroom or after school, students can showcase their skills and accomplishments at *Aerial Challenge Days, competition events where student teams work to solve progressively more difficult challenges.

#1 Stay In Your Lane

This challenge was fairly simple to code, but flying the drone was a different story. Often the drone would drift mid-flight, and it required a lot of precision to make sure the drone took off from the same spot each time.

#2 Limbo, Limbo

This second challenge was also very simple and worked on the first try. It uses up and down commands to control the height of the drone while it flies. Luckily it didn't fly into the chair.

#3 Octagon Show

Unfortunately the video of this one was too long to convert into a GIF so I created a shortened version that shows only the beginning. You can also watch the full version if you would like.

#4 Any Polygon

This code was a bit harder and required using a mixture of strings and integers to get it work. This video was also too long so I turned the first part into a GIF.

#5 Obstacle Touch and Go

This code required using coordinates and the go command to move the drone at an angle. Unfortunatly Iwasn't able to set the hula hoops up for this one but the code remains the same.
