AI Drone Programming
Teams program a drone to autonomously complete missions using Blockly, Scratch, Micro:bit, or Python.
Event overview
An AI programming track for autonomous drone missions. Teams choose from approved programming environments and submit autonomous flight code that completes the published mission.
Rules & format
Each section defines a part of how the event is run. Hardware limits, scoring, and safety are inspected on-site.
Programming Tools
Autonomous drone programming may use Blockly, Scratch, Micro:bit, or Python. Tool choice is reported at registration.
Code Submission
Code is downloaded onto the drone before inspection. After inspection, no code changes are allowed unless explicitly permitted.
Mission Run
The drone runs the mission autonomously. Best run among allowed attempts counts toward the score.
Scoring
Objective scoring by task points; time is used as the tie-breaker; safety violations carry penalties.
