Abby said that the prizes provided by B.E.T.A.Challenge helped her business grow significantly in the past months.DARTdrones originally has three locations in the U.S.A.,当艾比和她的共同创始人负责所有的培训和经营业务。After winning the competition,Abby used part of the money to hire five interns.整个团队最终在夏天扩大了业务。现在达特无人机有六名全职员工。
无人机在未来会有一些令人兴奋的机会。In the near future,艾比和她的团队打算在2016年开设在线课程，并招募40名新的培训师。DARTdrones also plans to provide classes for people who are taking FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) test in order to help test takers prepare for the exam.
