10. DroneBlocks Shape Challenges (2 Hours)

Circles, Squares, Triangles, Oh My! Simulator Edition

Today, you’ll be practicing with the simulator, just like a pro would practice. You will be using the DroneBlocks flight simulator to do all of the following codings. Once you have tested your code, practice it again because, in the next session, you will be putting your skills to the test by coding your drone to fly in real life. Link to the simulator

  1. Practice taking off. 
  2. Practice landing. 
  3. Fly your drone up. 
  4. Fly your drone down. 
  5. Fly your drone to the left.
