Badgerfly

We are Badgerfly.

We are a competition robotics team focused on building eVTOLs UAV's. For the 2025-2026 season we will be designing and building a drone that can effectively fight wildfires.

Competitions

Design-Build-Vertical Competition

Design an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) drone for wildfire response. The aircraft must complete a standardized mission course with a focus on speed, precision, and payload handling.
