Spheros The first week we started off playing with the Spheros. They are cool little robots that you can control through an app on your iPad or iPhone. We used multiple models including the Ollie and Spark + from their main line, and the BB-8 and R2D2 from their Star wars line. They also have many other models. Click here to go their website. Drones Week 2 we started using drones. The first drones that we used were the Parrot drones. We used the Parrot Mambo Mission drone. It is a small drone that you can control from the Parrot Mini app on your iPhone or iPad. The app is very user friendly and easy to use. The controls are simple and it can take off and land by the press of a button. You can even make the drone do a flip by pressing one of the flip buttons. Click here to go to the Parrot website. We also used the DJI Mavic Pro and Air. The Mavic Pro we controlled from the controller which used a phone as a display. With the Mavic Pro you can fly all the way up to 400 feet. It is against the law to fly higher because they can interfere with airplanes. The Mavic pro takes good quality video and photos. You can adjust the camera angle of the drone from the controller. The Mavic Air is very cool because it has a feature called smart capture. This allows you to use hand gestures to control the drone. It is super useful if you want to take selfies from the sky. You can also make it follow you to get some really cool shots. Click here to go to the DJI website.
