Are any other schools having issues with their conex boxes blowing away? Like the wind from the drone is so strong it’s just blowing our boxes all over- but if we make them heavy enough to where they aren’t blown away, they’re almost too heavy for the drone to lift. Any ideas??

Fiona,  
We’ve found that a ~300 gram box is the sweet spot of too heavy to blow away and not too heavy for the drone to pick up. Hope that helps.
