Hello – My school is interested in putting on a 5 minute performance (play) that would include programmable drones. We have a decent sized budget to spend on drones, but need to be able to program the drones for our performance. We are hoping to be able to get the drone(s) to perform something like: At 0:00 the drones fly up and hover at 10 feet. At 0:30 fly left 15 feet. At 1:00 fly forward 8 feet. At 1:30 fly right 10 feet followed by flying back left 25 feet……… etc. At the end we would need the drones to return to where they began. To give further detail, we are looking for the drones to perform at choreographed movements during this 5 minute time span. Furthermore, we are exploring the idea that the drone(s) will have something attached, weighing less than 5 pounds…. Possibly a cut out of a fish to make it appear to be swimming (if possible). we are looking to see if any members of this forum have suggestions for programmable drones. We have a small IT staff that has minimal skills, so preferably a drone that can be customized easily. We have plenty of time if someone needs to dedicate hours to learning how to program. Is there a drone(s) that operated independently that fit this description? Any recommendations on products, ideas, or possible alternatives. Ideally our group could program the drones to fly at different heights and different lengths. Any help is appreciated. Sorry if this thread is listed in the wrong locations, still figuring some things out. Thank you, Chris.
