Ask HN: Would you be interested in a FPV drone/quadcopter racing event? Hey folks - curious if there is any interest in a friendly competitive drone racing event. Imagine showing up and racing either a stock FPV quadcopter setup or an entirely custom one against a group of like minded racers? As an event host, we'd provide feeds to racers vehicles, prizes, course design and setup, logistics and all the other things necessary for a smooth running event. Of course we'd provide alcohol and awards like "Best Crash" One of the challenges is that the cost of the quadcopter/drone might be prohibitive for casually interested people, but open to ideas. Maybe we could organize a group buy and save some money for participants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsxyV-kgfio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H19z1X3V4UQ |
