Docks

What information is associated with a Dock?

Every dock claimed within your organization can be identified by the dock WiFi/UAV Name (eg Skydio2P-xxxx). In our API, we refer to this as the dock_serial.
Docks have a dock_type, dock_name, and can be associated with a Vehicle. The location of a dock is available when the dock's takeoff point has been configured within a site.
Docks connected to Skydio Cloud will also return information about their current state.
