Ok so we started using the AR Parrot Drone. We are using it to teach about the history of flight, specifically in North Carolina, as well as how the military is using the drone technology. I must say, it is one of the coolest pieces of technology that I have had the pleasure of using. I get the same reaction from passerby’s using it as I did when I got the iPad when it first came out.
However it’s far from perfect. It is made from Styrofoam, which while light
gives it a very flimsy quality. The
controls are hard to use, especially with any sort of wind. The free flight app of OS that they mention
in the user manual is no longer available, and the replacement app does not let
you switch cameras or take still pictures.
Its for this reason that I would much rather use my android phone with
the original app than the iPad, even with the screen size difference. The battery only last about 15 minutes now,
and I know that will decrease the more times I charge it, but I was expecting
that. However, I do not like the fact
that I cannot take off if I have less than 20 percent battery left.
Jay posted a video of us using it in an old school gym on our YouTube channel. Check it out.
