So, my six year old son sees this helicopter in a shop window and say’s, hey dad can I get one of those.
So like any other dad, who sees the opportunity to buy a new toy, I say, why sure son that sounds like a great idea . You can guess who spent more time flying this little chopper around the house….
Anyway, so I decide to check out what else is available online and come across the following – Drone Racing. I read up some more and find out that Drone racing is actually quite a big thing.
I so would really love to see this first hand myself. There is also a Red Bull Drone Racing Team.
I then read about the Drone F1 that was recently hosted in Dubai.
For your viewing pleasure a quick overview of this event.
The track
The racers
The Champ
The loot
$ 250 000
Now Check out the race!!!

I had no idea there were drone races and that some of the drones were so ...agile to pull such maneuvers. Good stuff.

@the dailyhobbyist, that video was truly awesome. Have you had a look at Microsoft's Hololens? There might be a cool application for drone racing with that as well.

This sport is going to continue to grow. The military I'm sure is looking at it as a possible recruiting opportunity too.

@feedthemachine, I agree with both your comments. Why will the military overlook an opportunity like this? Im sure they already have recruitment plans.
