This is a duplicate post... I first posted in a different category and then decided I might have put it in the wrong spot. Please disregard if you've seen the other post. Thanks and sorry about the double.
I’m looking for a drone to teach code with.
I want something that I can download and edit programs. For example; I would like to be able to download code to fly a rectangle at a certain altitude and length. I would like to be able to edit this program to change altitude and length of sides. I would like this type of editing to lead to creating new programs.
I need to be able to download and edit the code from a Chromebook.
I need this to cost under $800
Longer’ish battery life would be nice. Running each program wouldn’t take long in itself, but having a class of 10 kids each test their programs in the same hour could require a long battery life or extra batteries on hand.
A camera would be nice.
Being able to add sensors would be great.
What do you guys recommend? I’m open to ideas and suggestions. I’ve done a lot of internet research and haven’t come up with anything conclusive as to what I need. Pixhawk and Parrot ar.drone 2.0 seem to come up a lot in my searches.
THANKS

That sounds great! Pixhawk is a controller that comes up often in my searches. This sounds like it is made for what we need to accomplish.
Is there any comparison between the 3DR Solo and the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 for what I'm trying to accomplish?
The best one out there is 3DR Solo.
Onboard computer, integrated with python, Artoo , and OpenCV for video processing.
the controller is a Linux computer as well, it's actually acting as a router.
It's extremely customizable due to the technology used, and have one of the absolutely best flight controllers (Pixhawk2) with EKF and all...
