☑ Make sure you can take off and land in Blockly
Use the blocks in Blocky to take off and land, just to make sure everything's working properly.
☑ Mark the micro USB cable that came in the box with tape
Mark the USB cable that came in the package with a tape. This is because some USB cables only provide power, but don’t transfer data, so you’ll want to distinguish it from others.
