Round 1: Design Specification

Objective: Showcase the conceptual and technical design of your drone.

Components to Highlight:

• Frame Design: Material, weight, durability, and aerodynamics.
• Propulsion and Power System: Motor, propeller, Battery – efficiency an endurance Calculation.
• Control System: Type of flight controller, sensors, and communication protocols.
• Safety Features: Emergency landing systems, fail-safes, or propeller guards.
• Payload Capacity: Any additional modules like cameras, delivery boxes, or sensors.

Round 2: Flying and Maneuverability

Objective: Demonstrate the drone’s ability to fly smoothly and perform controlled maneuvers.

Key Skills to Demonstrate:

• Takeoff, Hovering and Landing: Smooth and stable performance.
• Directional Control: Precise movement in all directions (up/down, forward/backward, left/right).
• Speed Variations: Transition between slow and fast speeds, Perform tight turns and sudden stops.
• Agility: Follow the instruction given by the instructor
• Rally: Complete the mission in Sky Challenge Zone

Preparation Tips:

• Practice manual controls extensively.
• Test responsiveness to commands and latency in communication.
• Perform stress tests in outdoor conditions to handle wind and obstacles.

Round 3: Autonomous / Special Mission

Objective: Demonstrate the drone’s ability to perform tasks autonomously/Aerobatic.

Perform a task for 100 sec duration either Autonomous or Manual

• Bonus points for innovation or precision.
• Stunts, Acrobatic & Aerobatic
• Speed round to navigate a shorter course.
