Charlotte, N.C. – October 01, 2026 -- Lucid Bots has unveiled the Sherpa HighLine, a motorized rooftop pulley system that enabled its Sherpa drone to clean exterior surfaces at 280 feet above ground level, a height the company says marks the tallest drone-cleaning operation recorded in the United States.
Drone cleans 23-story Colorado casino tower at 8,000-foot elevation
The late-September operation took place at Monarch Casino Resort Spa in Black Hawk, Colorado, on the property's 23-story hotel tower. The work was completed in partnership with BlackJet Drone Solutions, MG Cleaning Systems and Oklahoma Drone Technologies. Black Hawk sits roughly 8,000 feet above sea level, where lower-density air makes generating lift more demanding for aircraft.
