Championship Race: Xfinity CA Drone Speed Challenge, 2018 

Yes

Sport???? Lol

@@dougdavis8986 yes

@@dougdavis8986 yes sport moron, just like snooker shooting f1 racing and many others. handegg isnt the only sport.

@@dougdavis8986 what about esport?

I just got into this hobby and I think it's safe to say it has alot of hindrances...as someone who knows nothing about RCs it was extremely difficult for me to even get into the air. Between flashing firmware to my radio and having to manually configure my vtx settings to connect with my goggles...it was a nightmare as someone who knew nothing and didnt have much help...that and when people see fpv racing 9/10 times they are seeing gopro footage and then you put goggles on and it's just an utter disappointment. Barrier to entry is too crazy, the sport is very expensive and the learning curve is pretty crazy, the analog video is a disappointment so I honestly cant see this sport blowing up anytime soon although I would like it to.

Lol

Now that’s drone racing!!!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

**SW theme begins BLARING**

Yooo

Yeah me neither

@Se Google Nutzer same

lol shut da fuck up no one cares :D

@@anndy6450 lol shut da fuck up no one cares :D

LOL yup

How you know? jk 😆 yup

Stop calling me out

Yeah lmaao

I didn’t know this was a thing wtf this is dope

There is already a comment like this beforehand you so....

Comment stealer.

YOUR EXACTLY RIGHT

What a fuck

Ye lol

Cryin 💀😭

😂 ZZzzzz

Class 😂😂

Astronauta collection is a series of sci fi books that described perfectly how "boring" the day to day life on the future Earth will be and this can perfectly be found there as a replacement of nowadays activities such Formula Uno may be.

Or an anime series.

Someone said that drone racing "felt like F-Zero." It's not an exact replication of the feel...but it is definitely as twitchy.

@@BrandonTatamiBakukin bro could you give me a link to where i could read it?

yoOo

until the drone catch a ghost

@@kakyoindonut3213 *hits a ghost in the face full throttle

@@OmegaF77 *pass through it, the drone hits a wall, drone broken

@@kakyoindonut3213 hard to catch something that doesn't exists though.

@@carstenpoulsen7076 shut up take the joke

Right I was thinking that too. The technology and this new sport is only in it's infancy. Looks like it will take off for there are good prize monies for the youthful players who need funds to participate and then sponsors will come about if there's increase in spectators to maybe profit from advertising. However, bigger, faster, and more powerful drones could be dangerous where spectators may then have to view from behind a wire fish net screen. Hopefully political and military interests are not to be the future big time sponsors to develop it to get into kids heads with all that propaganda military patriotic brainwash and other funky messages of falsehoods.

It’s small for the challenge though.

@@conureking7748 I'm thinking gas powered drones like those gas powered F16s

we need a crowd

And engineering and fine tuning

Agreed. I am an FPV pilot myself, but I can only do freestyle. I can barely go through a simple race course on a sim without crashing lmao. I would only not crash if I go super slow

THEY NEED CLEARVIEW RECEIVERS

@@vonster22 They were, look at the tripods at the 0:51 second mark

I was thinkin the same thing, must take some skywalker like reflexes with feed the pilots get

Alan Pentland dji just came out with a new pfv system and it makes the pfv goggles clearer then the drone cam

DVR always looks worse than when you actually look to the goggles

Badass idea!!

You thinking laser cannons? Because I was thinking laser cannons.

Q

You should see the ones that record drag races and other cinematic events.

it's too dangerous as the drones can seriously injure people.

@@threadoor1890 You mean like a baseball? Glad, that no one go to baseball games. ;)

@@Jumboy3 NASCAR or hockey come to mind. You can solve anything with a well placed net.

@@DV7Dave It can help, yeah. :)

They have hundreds of spectators in the vip area due to safety of the folks who would likely be hit by a plane..... Dumbass

Where are you planning on putting them?:)

online

@@tivo552 *ding ding ding* - this looks boring as hell when watching in a view that isn't FPV/POV. It looks sick in FPV/POV.

They can be in seats too and are probably around the camera area. The sport is so new in it's infancy and the tech has much further development to go so it's still a small hobby special interest group of young people. That would be so cool to be young again among this generation into all that I thought as a kid to only be science fiction for we didn't have high tech yet when the original Nintendo was the so interesting I'd stay up all night. When you get older, the intriguing fascination factor is not so strong to play and play a video game nonstop despite something like the PS4 being like a science fiction dream come true where you might do it for 3 hours instead even if you have time. I don't think I could watch this on a cell phone, but would rather go see it or watch it on one of those huge $250 4K TV's widely available now for such a rock bottom price.

"Where is the spectators"? But yeah, they`re at home I guess, watching online, like us..

Damn we said the same thing 50 yrs ago :/

Well this aged poorly

marvin polanco And we went to the moon in that time and now we have like 5 rocket launches a month sometimes.

Goggles.

@@ramus9 so?

@@jc-px8ox Makes it easier. Try to fly a quad without the goggles and see how well you’ll do.

@@ramus9 I agree that goggles makes it easier but that's why it's called FPV anyway. But still, it's incredibly hard to control a drone in acro. This is next level.

I know this was a year ago, but you understand the difference between a one pound racing drone and a one ton racecar, yes? If a drone fails midflight because you choose your pit stops, then someone, somewhere, _might_ get a plastic shard to the eye, at worst. If a 200 mph metal race car filled with gasoline fails, people die.

@@incognitoburrito6020 What does that have to do with anything? Are you saying it's more dangerous to not do a pit stop? I'm not sure what you're even saying. Pit stops were heavily regulated because THEY were dangerous. The sport started out with the safer route of NO pit stops until intuitive people realized that if they could change the tires and gas in a certain amount of time they could actually finish a long race FASTER. So...

Ya it's bad lol

Most drone racing’s indoors because it creates a controlled environment+ it allows you to bypass most FAA laws. Y’all clearly don’t know much about the laws and reality’s behind drone racing.

@@conureking7748 faa laws only apply near airports and above 1,000 feet afaik

mdstmouse7 That... is very, very wrong... particularly if your drones in a higher weight class.

@@conureking7748 well wtf are they then

Actually I searched “drone” as I heard about a video of a guy who uses a drone to spot his wife cheating on him, they had been married 18 years. This happened to be the third option and it triggered my curiosity so I tapped on It, can’t say I’m disappointed honestly!

It's done through FPV goggles. The footage from the drones is the live pilot view.

cause it fast af and tiny! Like little devils
