Drone Limbo is designed to showcase line of sight flying and the importance of depth perception. Have the students place the string around two desk legs. Pull them apart so that the string is tight. Students should attempt to fly under the string without crashing. After each student has successfully passed under the string, move the string down a few inches and repeat. Students should focus on control and line of sight flight skills.
