Help me give my students a padded drone obstacle course where they can be free to make mistakes that won't cost them a working drone.

My Students
Our school is a STEM focused charter school in Sandy, Utah. We use Evidence Based Instructional Strategies (EBIS) to collaboratively teach and prepare students across the curriculum for life in the twenty-first century.
Our school sees the need for technology-based instruction, as we know our world to be technology based.
While pencil and paper are still useful in a math class, technology is also a must.
We strive to offer students an education that spans Apple, Microsoft, Android, and other systems. Students learn to write software (coding), use OfficeSuite and have even developed medical technologies and video games.
My Project
We need several different sizes, heights, and shapes of obstacles to expand the number and style of programs that students can write to use math and coding skills to fly drones through obstacles. They also need floor padding to help insure that mistakes don't cost the end of the drones functionality.
Our students will be flying drones through these obstacles to show off their math and coding skills.
They will land (and crash?) on the padded mats. With this padding and several obstacles to navigate around, students will learn to code in programming languages Scratch, Python, and Swift. The students will launch the drones, then put them through changes in elevation, turn angles, and distances to get through an obstacle course and return to land on the platform. The padded mats will help protect the drones from being damaged as the students learn from their mistakes.
