Modular drone Makeblock Airblock Drone
Makeblock's new Airblock Drone for STEM education is a modular solution of interchangeable programmable blocks that allow you to assemble a drone or hovercraft. Conquer the air, land and water with Airblock! The Airblock modular drone is completely safe from falls and accidents: the scattered parts of the drone are easily connected, after which it soars into the sky again. The modules with the processor, rotors and Airblock motors are enclosed in a soft foam frame. They are attached to each other with magnetic connectors and are a construction set that folds and works in arbitrary combinations. Additionally, the kit includes a large foam base for building a hovercraft: just add a pair of rotors and a processor to make the new structure fly above the floor or float on the surface of the water. The software part of the designer is based on the Airblock processor, which connects to Android and iOS devices via Bluetooth, after which it can be controlled from the free Makeblock mobile application. The program has built-in support for the visual programming language Scratch 2.0. A simple and intuitive interface allows you to invent, write and customize your own stunts and aerial maneuvers. The Airblock battery lasts for 6 minutes of flight. Hidden inside the main module is a six-axis gyroscope, barometer and ultrasonic sensor.
