When they're not out there to bomb or invade your privacy, you race with them

Looks like a fitting hobby for bored aerospace engineers

Yeah, imagine racing around a small canyon/valley. That would be epic :D

i don't think we have to wait long til we see some Mario Kart elements in this -- e.g. smoke screen, bombs...or maybe infuse some elements from Robot wars(e.g. spikes, flamethrowers) so we'll have a drone version of the Ben-Hur chariot race :D

Hopefully though this will stay in sanctioned events. Just imagine "drone drag races" in the city

i envy the youth of today and the toys they'll play with...fortunately i've decided never to grow up ^_^

Those racing drones better be out of Duck Dynasty territory or else...

Nice! I like the one with the red lights at the back.

and the quadcopters themselves aren't streamlined yet. I think they'll be much faster in the near future.

I wonder if the FPV setup is adequate to handle the increase in speed.

ako nagtataka bakit wala pa nag-iisip sa pinas na gumamit ng drone tapos meron baril. Imagine paano ka mahuhuli nyan ang hirap makita sa cctv.

People who do the shootings are usually guns for hire mga walang ibang alam gawin asides from ride a motorcycle and shoot... much less operate a drone using a vr google.. they're not really know to be techies
