DROBOTS: DRONE RACING AND OBSTACLE COURSE
CHALLENGE
This program is filled with pure action as students learn about the basic safety
of drone flying and the history behind drone racing as a sport. Campers will
progress through various skill challenges and learn how to perform various
exercises and maneuvers to become familiar with the drone’s speed and agility.
Flight squads post up against one another in friendly competition when they
race themselves and the clock. Students will first maneuver the drone through
creative obstacle courses before taking on the challenge of flying for speed.
Participants contribute fully in this program as they design and help build the
obstacle course in preparation for the last day’s final activities and competition.
