Battle Drones FAQs
What is included in the Battle Drones pack?
Absolutely everything needed to get started playing straight from the box. The kit comes complete with two drones (red and white with matching colored controllers), 10 weapons, 8 spare propellers, charging pack and two rechargeable lithium-polymer batteries. Note that the batteries supplied are charged at 50%, so it is wise to give the drones a charge before starting play.
How high can the drones fly? What is the effective range?
Surprisingly high – they have an effective range and ceiling of around 40 feet. Pro Tip – At this distance it’s useful to attach a little brightly colored tape to the front to make them easier to control and navigate.
Are they easy to configure?
Yes. Each drone needs to work on a unique frequency that can be set up via the control panel. Full instructions are provided and the drone ought to operational within just a couple of minutes. This will only become a potential issue if multiple drones are being used in the same area.
Are the Air Wars Drones sturdy and safe?
Plenty of thought has gone into making the drones very sturdy indeed. They are very light yet designed from high strength plastic that is more than capable of withstanding plenty of crashes! The propellers are very low powered and will stop immediately in the unlikely event of making contact with an obstacle. Supervised use is advised if being used by very young kids, but there’s little chance of these causing any damage to property.
What is the battery/charge life?
When fully charged a drone should be able to fly for around six minutes in total. The high quality batteries supplied with the unit do charge up very quickly. A green light indicates a full charge, a blinking red light suggests a charge will soon be necessary.
What kind of games can be played?
Plenty! To begin with it’s a good idea to just try to keep the drone in flight for a couple of minutes. Once the player has gotten to grips with the control pad, download and print some of the target sheets and try aiming to hit these. This is a good introductory game for competitive play – with both players racing to hit the most targets. More advanced games can involve setting up race tracks, as well as of course having a two player battle.
How does the battle system work?
The kit comes supplied with ten weapons. These can be attached in any combination to the drone, and then the two players compete to knock as many weapons from their opponent as possible. Even better is if they can force their rival out of the sky. The drones come with four different battle modes (ram, tornado, 360 spin and circle) each with their respective button on the control pad. Naturally this means that every battle is going to be different, and it will require skill and imagination to win each bout.
