Anyone watching these contraptions crash ?https://youtu.be/_pEc-lV41LY
>>17032038go away glowie
>>17032073https://youtu.be/QFo0JRPsuxEDay 3 LADS MANY CRASHES
Some of the designs are pretty neat. The two RC planes with a tether setup is insane.
>>17032509Yeah that seems easy to scale too. I can picture in the future a drone that opens up
This huge thing that looks like an umbrella is amazing, but I cannot stand these teams with essentially a commerical drone that has zero hope of reaching the 110 lb minimum.
>>17032560The guy with the 2 stroke lift paramotor said he thinks they will win in the end. Using the new solid state batteries n shit. One earlier had an 8x its weight lift capacity
>>17032634It had 8x its weight and crumpled for the second time on landing. The best so far has been a highly specialized RC helicopter, but even it snapped when they loaded it up by just a few more pounds for a second run.
Not FPV, so old-school.
>>17032664Funny story if you have seen the top gear episode they make a shuttle out of a reliant Robin. The guy who flew it taught me to fly RC>>17032645Chad, they are right on the edge of whats possible. I heard they planned to purge 60 of the 120 teams but so many kaboomed they are letting em all in
why is this even a thing, lifting higher is just motor thrust, it has nothing to do with better ai, you'd think they'd find harder challenges than this, like front running whatever is happening in iran, it's a surprise the govt still hasn't figured this shit out and all they can do is post lifting challenges lmao
>>17032736IIRC that rocket was the largest ever launched in Britain
>>17032038i did. pretty fun.fossil fuel drones sucked ass
