On The Down-Low Drone Racing

       Melbourne - Underground drone racing is really racing.  Underground drone racing is increasng in popularity in Australia.  Competitors build and prepare their drone-quadcopters for racing in abandoned warehouses, schoolyards, and neighborhoods. 
     In what has been called Game of Drones, the sport, of drone-flying, which has been done in neighborhoods, warehouses, and schoolyards across the country for decades, is being taken to a new level of intensity.  This new version pits drone against drone in fast-paced races.  Some drone clubs meet weekly to push their drones to the limit.  According to, NOWTHISNEWS, some of these drones hit speeds of 60-70 miles per hour (mph).  These drones are not autonomous (self-piloting).  These drones use the skills of the pilots to fly at higher speeds and avoid obstacles.  See whole story and video, www.aol.com.
