What is the Robolink CoDrone Classroom Pack?
The Robolink CoDrone EDU Classroom Pack is a turnkey fleet of small, durable programmable drones built for hands-on coding instruction. Each CoDrone EDU is coded in block-based Blockly or in Python, carries seven onboard sensors (gyroscope, accelerometer, barometer, optical flow, front and bottom range finders, and dual underside color sensors), and pairs with its own Smart Controller. The pack arrives as a complete classroom kit so a teacher can move from unboxing to a first flight in a single period.
RobotLAB resells, leases, and RaaS-subscribes this pack to schools and training programs across the United States. As America's largest commercial robotics integrator, RobotLAB handles procurement, labeling of drones and controllers, spare-parts logistics, and ongoing support so educators are not left managing a fleet alone. The listed configuration is sized around a 2:1 student-to-drone ratio, which Robolink recommends for a class of roughly 5 to 15 students, with a drone or two reserved for the teacher.
Because the CoDrone EDU is small (138 x 138 x 35 mm, under 60 grams) with propeller guards and a frame designed to survive classroom drops, it is well suited to indoor labs and STEM rooms. Programming works on Chromebook, macOS, and Windows machines with a USB port for Blockly; Python is supported on macOS and Windows. RobotLAB can quote the pack outright, on a lease, or as a monthly Robot-as-a-Service subscription depending on a district's budget cycle.

Robolink CoDrone Classroom Pack in detail
K-12 STEM and computer science classrooms
The core market for this pack is middle and high school CS, STEM, and robotics electives. A 2:1 ratio lets pairs of students write Blockly or Python flight programs, test obstacle avoidance with the range sensors, and run color-based missions using the dual underside color sensors. Indoor-safe size and propeller guards make it practical for a standard classroom rather than a gym or field.
Higher-ed intro programming and engineering labs
Community colleges and university intro-to-programming or mechatronics courses use the CoDrone EDU to teach Python in a tangible, motivating context. Students move from block coding to text-based Python on the same hardware, and the onboard sensor suite supports lab exercises in control, feedback, and basic autonomy without the cost or airspace constraints of larger outdoor drones.
Special-education and inclusion STEM programs
The block-based Blockly path, forgiving durable frame, and short controlled indoor flights make the CoDrone EDU approachable for special-education and mixed-ability STEM settings. Instructors can scaffold from simple flight commands to sensor-driven logic at each learner's pace, and RobotLAB's spare-parts and support coverage reduces downtime when devices take wear.
After-school clubs, JROTC, and workforce training
Drone clubs, JROTC programs, and short workforce or summer-camp cohorts benefit from a self-contained classroom kit with controllers, batteries, chargers, propellers, and landing pads included. RobotLAB can supply the pack as a lease or RaaS subscription so programs with annual or grant-based funding can scale a fleet without a large up-front purchase.

About the Robolink CoDrone Classroom Pack.
-
How many drones come in this classroom pack?
This listing is sized as a classroom fleet with multiple CoDrone EDU drones, each with its own Smart Controller, batteries, chargers, propellers, and landing pads. Robolink recommends a 2:1 student-to-drone ratio for a class of roughly 5 to 15 students, plus a drone or two for the teacher. Exact drone and accessory counts can vary by configuration, so call 1-87-RobotLAB to confirm the count and any professional-development add-on before you order.
-
What programming languages can students use?
The CoDrone EDU is coded with block-based Blockly or with Python. Many classrooms start students in Blockly and transition the same students to text-based Python on the identical hardware. Blockly runs on Chromebook, macOS, and Windows; Python is supported on macOS and Windows.
-
Is this drone safe to fly indoors in a classroom?
Yes. The CoDrone EDU is small (under 60 grams), has propeller guards, and uses a durable frame designed to survive classroom drops and crashes. Flights are short and controlled, and the front and bottom range sensors support obstacle-aware programming, making it well suited to indoor STEM labs rather than open fields.
-
Can I buy this as a lease or Robot-as-a-Service instead of all at once?
Yes. RobotLAB sells the pack outright and also offers leasing and Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) subscription options so schools can match the cost to annual or grant-based budgets. Call 1-87-RobotLAB and we will quote the option that fits your funding.
-
How long does each drone fly and how long does it take to charge?
Each CoDrone EDU flies about 7 to 8 minutes per charge and recharges in roughly 60 minutes. The classroom pack ships with multiple rechargeable batteries and chargers per drone so students can swap batteries and keep flying through a class period.
-
Does the pack include training or support for teachers?
Some Robolink classroom configurations include a professional-development course for educators, and Robolink offers free Blockly and Python lesson plans through its Basecamp learning platform. RobotLAB layers on its own deployment, labeling, spare-parts logistics, and nationwide support. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to confirm whether professional development is bundled with the configuration you want.
-
What computers do we need to run this in our classroom?
For Blockly, you can use Chromebooks, Macs, or Windows PCs with a USB port. For Python, you will need macOS or Windows machines (Chromebook is not supported for Python). Each Smart Controller also needs 2 AA batteries, which are not included. Call 1-87-RobotLAB if you want help confirming your lab setup.
