UI Drone Lab

Nice. Brave, Bold, Unstoppable.

The Drone Lab was featured in the Innovation Arcade at the UI's Brave, Bold, Unstoppable event in Boise to celebrate the completion of a $500 million fundraising campaign. All the drones we brought were either donated or purchased through donations. Go Vandals!

After over 8 months of filing paperwork and waiting, we FINALLY have our Part 137 and Section 44807 exemptions for the Hylio AG-230 spray drone! First flights yesterday went great. Looking forward to putting this in service this year for a bunch of ag and range projects.

Dramatic fall colors need some (melo)dramatic music to go along! Somewhere south of Anaconda, Montana. Taking a break to fly some FPV drones.

Good times sharing some drones with Rangeland Fall Forum. Got to fly a DJI Agras T40 and watch Tad Nelson from Little Butte Drones throw his Agras T20 around like a little FPV drone!

Field work goes hand in hand with drone work... Sites looking pretty good after the fire. I'm surprised at the amount and diversity of plants that have come back!

Multitasking - training field crews and testing out a new drone camera at the same time!
