Dubbed as Game of Drones, the country’s biggest drone competition returns after its success for two consecutive years, this year for the third flight which took off on May 25, 2019 in Industria at the Circulo Verde.
Drones have become phenomenal this day because of its great functionality, even the appearance has been evolving and conceptualizes to the point it can be used for entertainment like this Drone Competition. It's a fun experience also to learn how to drive a drone which is my first time to hold and maneuver it the sky. By the way, we use the professional drone that is very easy to operate that even a small child can do. You can compare it to RC toys with a similar game controller.
You will be amazed also with the gallery of photos taken in some of the beautiful spots in the Philippines using their drone.
The contest covered three categories – Time Trial, and the Rotocross finals, all of which allowed participants to battle in various contests for supremacy of the skies.
Time Trial is a spec/open class category, where individual competitors raced to fly their drone across the 300-meter track for one lap with up to four pilots per race.
