You never start over. Hopper is the drone you buy once, and it keeps getting better.

Nearing 3,000 schools. All 50 states. Elementary classrooms to a United States service academy.

When a classroom drone gets discontinued, the expectation is the program restarts on the next one. Everything the teacher spends learning, everything the students get fluent in, everything the district fought to fund, resets. Hopper is the drone that does not leave you there.

Live from Hopper's downward camera. The main view is the drone's own feed; the inset is the flight in the room. A 10x10 space with 8.5 ft ceilings, tighter than a classroom.

One drone.
What that actually means.

Buy Hopper once and two things happen that do not happen anywhere else in this category. Everything you build on it carries forward, and the drone itself keeps getting better. Here is what that means.

What one drone actually means
01

The program carries forward

A student flies the same Hopper from an upper-elementary classroom to a United States service academy. All the time a teacher spends learning the drone, the platform, and the curriculum carries forward every year instead of resetting. They get more fluent, not sent back to the start.

02

The drone keeps getting better

New capability lands free on the Hopper a school already owns. It has happened once already and it is about to happen again.

03

Made in San Diego, California

Designed and manufactured in San Diego, California. NDAA Section 889 compliant, so Perkins, Title I, JROTC, and federal workforce contracts are cleared.

Stability was never the point. It was the prerequisite. A drone that holds position is a drone that can be taught to reason. Firmware 2.0 made that possible. Think is what it was for.
