The Community Behind the Crazyflie

Whether You Realize It or Not, You’re Part of the Crazyflie Community

Most people probably don’t think of themselves as members of the Crazyflie community. They’re busy finishing experiments, writing papers, debugging flight controllers, supervising students, preparing grant applications, or trying to make a deadline. And yet, whether you think about it or not, you’re part of it.

Every time a paper is published, a GitHub issue is filed, a forum question is answered, or a new experiment is shared, the platform changes a little. Other researchers discover new approaches. Students inherit new examples. Future users benefit from lessons that someone else learned the hard way.

The Crazyflie ecosystem is not defined by Bitcraze. It is defined by thousands of individual decisions made across universities, research institutes, classrooms, and laboratories around the world, which makes us curious:

  • What are you working on?
  • What tools do you rely on?
  • What parts of the ecosystem help you move faster, and which parts slow you down?
  • What should we spend more time improving?

To help answer those questions, we’re running a community survey. Not because we need validation for decisions we’ve already made, but because many of the decisions we will make next should be informed by the people who use the platform every day.

If you use the Crazyflie, your experience matters. Make your voice heard!

We’ll close the survey June 15th.
