## Getting friendly with your Drone

Although you can use the Parrot Mini app for for [iOS](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/freeflight-mini/id1137022728?mt=8) or [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.parrot.freeflight4mini&hl=en) that's not nearly as fun as controlling it with JavaScript!

There are a number of npm modules that can control the Parrot drones, but the two that look the most promising are [npm-parrrot-minidrone](https://github.com/fetherston/npm-parrot-minidrone) and [node-rolling-spider](https://github.com/voodootikigod/node-rolling-spider).

## Things to keep in mind
40+
41+
tl;dr; Be careful of other people ;)
42+
43+
- Don't fly the drones *at* people or annoy anyone by buzzing them around their heads. Those blades are super sharp
44+
- Keep the indoor hull on your drone
45+
- The drones are going to hit the wall or the roof, we know, but please don't do that on purpose
46+
- Just generally be curteous of other people's space where you can
