What makes a great drone racer? (Speed Addict 210-R Episode 1)
This video is an in depth discussion of what attributes make for a great drone racer. In this industry manufacturers use various terms for marketing such as “power to weight”, “ideal center of gravity”, “agility”, “durability”, etc. But, what do these actually mean in terms of the design and function of a drone race craft? We answer these questions with regard to drone racers in general, and then explain why our new Speed Addict 210-R and upcoming 180-R are so freaking awesome. This is a two episode series.

Looking at this, at the bottom of the page you have an assembly manual,
electronics required etc and it says click here. It doesnt link to anything
though. I am pretty interested and would like to learn more so please reply
if this is fixed.
do racers use gopros? or is that too much weight?
Can it navigate autonomously without human control?
