Australia’s biggest ever indoor drone racing event – ABC News
Australia’s biggest ever indoor drone racing event, Drone X 2016, is under way in Melbourne as part of the Sexpo exhibition. Although it’s still very much a niche pastime, organisers say drone racing is building momentum. Drones are raced through obstacle course of large hoops in the air and on the ground, which pilots must navigate through at mind-blowing speeds. Organiser Terence Boyton says the sport has taken off in the last 18 months. Drone racer Josh Tepper has a bit of an unfair advantage over the competition, because he actually works with commercial drones in his day job. He’s just returned from the world championships in Hawaii.
