In drones, we got to fly around drones and take videos. My group only got to fly the drones in the first period the second and third we didn’t get a drone and in the fourth session, the drone kept going flat. We also used snap to code virtual drones.
Square
In this project, we had to code the drone to move in a square, this is the code.
It was a little bit hard because the drone kept making rectangles. I added a block that checked that all the sides are the same.
Flying
To fly the drone we had to get an app on a phone the drones have cameras but they don’t record sound. On the app, there is an option to take photos and videos you can also do flips. When I was flying the drone we were taking a video and it suddenly did a flip. Then we recorded a video of us chasing the drone and the drone chasing us. I tried to make the drone do a flip but it would do it and then when we were filming us chasing the drone it randomly did a flip and it scared us all. We also started filming us dancing for no reason. We started to film us singing but then when we watch it back we realized the drone didn’t pick up the sound. Then we started to think of things we could do with no sound and we started to film us dancing.
Tello Edu
On Tello Edu, you code virtual drones to do simple tasks and get through a portal. Some of the tasks I did were, making it pick up things, make it shoot enemies and go up and down. This helped me because I had already coded drones so snap was easier.
City
In this project, we had to follow some instructions to make the drone fly around Geelong.
