10 Missions. Can you beat them all?

Start easy. Get harder. Each mission unlocks the next.

Mission 01

Build Your Drone

Assemble the frame, mount the motors, connect the electronics. Your drone, built by you.

Mission 02

Hover & Land

Take off, hold steady, and land on the target zone. Sounds simple? Try it.

Mission 03

Build the Gripper

3D-print the gripper parts, run the tendon cables, mount the servos. Mechanical engineering — your hands.

Mission 04

Grab a Ping Pong Ball

Fly to the ball, grab it mid-air, bring it back. First real grab — you'll remember this one.

Mission 05

Water Bottle Transport

500g payload. Your drone at max capacity. Pick up, fly steady, set down on target. No spills.

Mission 06

The Gauntlet

3 objects, 3 drop zones, 1 battery. Collect them all before your power runs out. The final test.

Why this kit.

Real engineering. Not a follow-the-instructions toy.

🔧

You Build Everything

Frame, motors, electronics, gripper — all assembled by the kid. No pre-built modules, no shortcuts.
