We take a hands-on approach to

drone engineering.

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 to navigate a course quickly and efficiently, measured by lap speed, additional laps, and payload weight. It includes manual piloting and autonomous navigation sections.
