This all-inclusive kit gives kids and teens the ability to draw the “wires” to the motors with conductive silver ink and use the included cardboard arms to make something out of nothing! The Circuit Scribe Pen is filled with non-toxic conductive silver, which is used to draw traces from the motors to the hub, allowing the user to quickly build his/her own drone and fly it with a smart phone (Android and Apple). Flying is a breeze with the one key lift-off and landing and hover-mode, but if it crashes – don’t despair! Pull out an additional set of cardboard wings and start again. This drone can be used indoors and outdoors, has a 480p camera for a birds-eye view, a 3-minute flight time, and a 150-foot communication range.
