CoDrone EDU

A drone made for learning

The CoDrone EDU is a programmable drone for learning. Code it in Python or start from the basics with block-based coding. With its color sensors, a front range sensor, a bottom range sensor, and more, it’s a great way to learn to code. The durable and safe frame, programmable lights, and access to 7 sensors make it an excellent learning tool and a great way to learn coding and engineering skills in the classroom and for competitions.

The CoDrone EDU is the culmination of extensive feedback and research conducted by Robolink over the past six years, in collaboration with hundreds of schools worldwide that have utilized the CoDrone Pro and CoDrone Mini. Through email exchanges, phone conversations, technical support virtual meetings, user testing participation, and both externally and internally run classes, Robolink gathered valuable insights about the successes and shortcomings of their previous drones.

7 programmable sensors

There are plenty of advanced sensors packed into a small package. All of these sensors can be accessed from code and used to detect information about the environment.

Accelerometer

For sensing acceleration

Gyroscope

For sensing rotation

Barometer

For sensing height and pressure

Front range

For sensing obstacles ahead

Bottom range

For sensing distance to the ground

Color

For sensing surface colors

Optical flow

For sensing relative position

Code Sounds & Light

Code the lights and sound to indicate when you've detected an obstacle or flown above a certain height, or code them just for fun.

Programmable Controller and LCD Screen

The controller isn't just for piloting—it reads real-time sensor data and it's also fully programmable. Use code to create your own controls, draw sensor data on the screen, or create your own applications.

Safe and Durable

Flexible guards that minimize damage to the drone and your classroom

Fixable

Modular enough so that if parts need to be replaced, they can be

Pairing is easy

Paired controller and drone out of the box. No need to pair everytime!

Stable Signal

Use up to 15 drones in a classroom without worrying about signal interference
