Ask HN (again): What is the best affordable programmable drone?

Almost a year ago, a HN participant asked about the best affordable programmable drone: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8989411

I'd like to ask the question again. Are there any new contenders for the best programmable drone, ideally for $100 or less? I have two daughters, nine and seven years old, who have just seen a demonstration of a drone by a friend of our family's, and they're hooked. Before we purchase one, I'd like to take the opportunity to buy a programmable one so I can mess around with it, too (and teach the kids to program it).

EDIT: Ideally, I'd like something like this, but programmable/hackable: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MNG37C2/ref=s9_simh_gw_g21_i1_r?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=01GMYMFRR2QNC3AT5DG0&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2079475242&pf_rd_i=desktop

Thanks!
