The Robolink CoDrone EDU Classroom Pack equips a full class with programmable learning drones built specifically for the classroom. Each CoDrone EDU is a lightweight quadcopter with a durable, propeller-guarded frame that students can fly straight out of the box and then program to fly autonomous missions. Students start with block-based Blockly coding and graduate to text-based Python on the same hardware, making the pack a single platform that scales from middle school through introductory college courses. As a reseller, RobotLAB supplies the fleet at $3,200 along with deployment help, training, and ongoing support.
The pack is designed around a recommended 2-students-to-1-drone ratio (with a spare or two for the teacher), so a single bundle covers a typical classroom. Beyond the drones themselves it ships with the gear that keeps a fleet running day to day: Smart Controllers, multiple rechargeable batteries per drone, dual-battery chargers, replacement propellers, motors, and frame sets, plus color landing cards for sensor-based coding activities. The free Basecamp curriculum gives teachers structured lesson plans in both Blockly and Python so the hardware is usable on day one.
RobotLAB sells, leases, and offers the CoDrone EDU on a Robot-as-a-Service subscription, and backs every deployment with white-glove setup, staff training, and technical support. This reseller framing matters for schools and districts: instead of sourcing drones, accessories, spares, and professional development from separate channels, a buyer gets a single supported package and a phone number to call when something breaks or a teacher needs help.

The CoDrone EDU is built for grades 6-12. Students fly first, then code, moving from Blockly drag-and-drop blocks to real Python on identical hardware. Seven-plus onboard sensors — front and bottom range finders, color sensors, optical flow, and an IMU — let teachers run autonomous-flight challenges, sensor-reaction exercises, and obstacle-avoidance projects that connect coding to physical results. The classroom-pack ratio and included spare parts make it practical for a teacher managing 15-30 students.
Robolink offers a dedicated JROTC edition of this same drone created to meet JROTC funding requirements, and the platform is widely used in aviation and UAS career-pathway courses. The indoor-safe frame and 50-meter line-of-sight range suit gymnasium and classroom flight, while Python programming introduces the autonomy concepts behind commercial drone work. RobotLAB can advise on the right edition and configuration for program funding rules.
Because the same drone runs full Python with a documented library, introductory college robotics, computer science, and engineering courses use CoDrone EDU for hands-on units on control, sensors, and autonomous behavior without the cost or risk of large outdoor UAS. A classroom pack gives a lab enough units for paired or small-group work, and RobotLAB's fleet management and support reduce the overhead of maintaining shared lab hardware.

Robolink offers the CoDrone EDU classroom pack in 12-drone and 18-drone configurations. The 12-pack suits a class of about 5-15 students and the 18-pack suits 15-30 students, based on a 2-students-per-drone ratio. To confirm exactly how many units are in this $3,200 listing and which extras are bundled, call 1-87-RobotLAB.
Two: Blockly, a block-based visual language for beginners, and Python, a real text-based language. Students typically start in Blockly and move to Python on the same drone, so one purchase covers both middle-school and more advanced courses.
Free lesson plans in both Blockly and Python are available through Robolink's Basecamp learning platform. Professional development (instructor training) is offered as a separate add-on rather than bundled into the base pack. RobotLAB also provides setup help and staff training as part of its deployment service — call 1-87-RobotLAB to add training to your order.
No. The CoDrone EDU is rated for indoor use only. It is a lightweight, propeller-guarded drone designed for classrooms and gymnasiums with a 50-meter line-of-sight range, not for outdoor flight. If you need an outdoor or agriculture-focused drone program, ask RobotLAB about alternatives at 1-87-RobotLAB.
Each CoDrone EDU flies for about 7-8 minutes per charge and recharges in roughly 60 minutes. Classroom packs include several rechargeable batteries per drone plus dual-battery chargers so a class can keep drones in rotation during a lesson.
Yes. RobotLAB sells the CoDrone EDU classroom pack for $3,200 and also offers leasing and a Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) subscription so schools can spread the cost across a budget cycle. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to discuss purchase, lease, or RaaS options for your district.
Yes. Robolink makes a dedicated CoDrone EDU JROTC edition created specifically to satisfy JROTC funding rules, available in the same 12- and 18-drone classroom configurations. If you run a JROTC program, mention it when you call 1-87-RobotLAB so RobotLAB can quote the correct edition.
