Abstract
A charging and recharging drone assembly system and apparatus are provided. The system has a unique charging pad having a plurality of cones which direct the legs of a charging drone into a specific location on the charging pad for charging/re-charging. A QR code may be located in the middle of a cover of a charging pad so that the charging drone may detect the charging pad from the air and may direct the charging drone to land on a specific spot on the landing pad for charging. The movable cover may cover the charging pad when the charging pad is not in use to protect the charging pad.

- a first drone wherein the first drone supplies power to a second drone when the first drone is attached to the second drone;
- a landing pad wherein the landing pad both receives and charges the first drone and wherein the landing pad has a movable cover having a top surface wherein the movable cover has a first unit and a second unit and wherein the first unit is in contact with the second unit in a first orientation and wherein the first unit of the movable cover is not in contact with the second unit in a second orientation;
- wherein the first drone flies to the second drone to charge the second drone;
- a first QR Code located on the landing pad and wherein the first QR Code provides information to the first drone;
- a second QR Code located on the top surface of the movable cover of the landing pad wherein the second QR Code is only readable when the movable cover is in the first orientation and wherein the second QR Code is not readable in the second orientation and wherein a portion of the second QR Code is printed on the first unit of the movable cover and wherein a portion of the second QR Code is printed on the second unit of the movable cover;
