Drone Race Challenge (FPV)

August 24th, 2024 - August 27th, 2024

FPV drone racing competitions unfold on meticulously designed courses, often incorporating tight turns, obstacles, and unexpected twists. These courses serve as proving grounds for the pilots' ability to react swiftly, adapt to changing conditions, and maintain control of their drones at high speeds. At the core of FPV drone racing competitions lies a harmonious fusion of cutting-edge technology and human ingenuity. Pilots don specialized goggles that display a live video feed from the drone's camera, granting them the ability to navigate the course as if they were virtually seated in the cockpit. These goggles, coupled with sophisticated flight controllers and powerful motors, empower pilots to execute daring maneuvers, pushing the limits of drone technology.

  • The competition is open for all 200 Teams are eligible to participate, encompassing both national and international countries.
  • All participants will get a certification of Participation from All India Council For Robotics & Automation (AICRA).
  • INR 175,000  to be awarded to winning teams.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Open for all : Schools/Colleges/Universities every age group can participate.

THE TEAM

Drone Racing is a coed (mixed) sport and teams must maintain a diverse and inclusive roster. Each team roster must be coed and may have a maximum of ten players. The 3 active players are referred to as "Pilots", nonflying players are "Crew".  

  • Team captains can call in for pilot replacements in the event that a pilot is disabled for technical or other reasons.
  • Teams can be of different sizes. But a minimum of 3 pilots per team is required either by virtue of the original team players or by max. 1 sub trade from an external team. Also captains can take two approaches to form their squad for a particular episode:
  • Selection based on pure merit i.e. as per fastest qualifying time. 
  • Selection based on group vote provided all those selected have set their times on the track for that episode. This allows for rotation of pilots to occur.

Frame Size: All frames must pass a safety and airworthiness inspection. Once the airframe has been checked and approved, it must not be modified or changed, or it will need to be re-inspected.

  • Size: 5 to 7 inches drones are allowed. That offers a good balance of power, agility, and durability.
  • Material: Carbon fiber is the most common choice for its lightweight and high-strength properties. but other material also can be used.
  • Configuration: X-frame or H-frame configurations can be used for FPV racing.
  • Frame protection: A carbon fiber or fiberglass frame protector can be used to prevent damage in crashes

Motors:

  • Type: Brushless DC motors are standard, offering high power and efficiency. Higher KV ratings indicate higher RPMs and better performance for racing. Typical KV ratings range from 2300 to 2600.
  • Size: Common sizes are 2205, 2206, and 2207, with the choice depending on desired power and propeller size.

Propellers:

  • Material: Carbon fiber or nylon are common choices for their strength and durability.
  • Size: Typically 5 inches in diameter to match the frame size and motor power.
  • Pitch: A higher pitch provides more thrust but requires more power, while a lower pitch is more efficient for longer flights.
  • Landing gear: Landing gear can protect the propellers during landings.

Flight Controller:

  • Processor: A powerful processor is necessary for fast and responsive control.
  • Sensor: An accelerometer, gyroscope, and barometer are essential for stable flight.
  • Software: Popular options include Betaflight and Cleanflight.
  • Pilots will only use circular antennas on quads and antennas must be in good condition.

Battery:

  • Type: 4S or 6S LiPo batteries are commonly used, offering high voltage for powerful flight. Piolet may carry 2 batteries and charger.
  • Capacity: Higher capacity batteries provide longer flight times, but also add weight.
  • C rating: A higher C rating indicates the battery can deliver more current, which is important for racing.

Camera & Video Transmitter (VTX):

  • Camera: A high-quality CMOS camera with low latency is essential for a clear and smooth FPV experience.
  • VTX: The VTX transmits the video signal from the camera to the pilot's goggles. VTX Rating = Switchable 25mW/200mW 5.8 Ghz for FPV with at least 40 channels with support for Raceband Channels.
  • Frequency: 5.8GHz is the most common frequency for FPV racing. Raceband Channels (5658, 5695, 5732, 5769, 5806, 5843, 5880, 5917) and Channels 5645, 5740, 5800, 5860, 5945
  • Power: Higher power allows for longer range and clearer signal in crowded environments.

Goggles:

  • Display type: OLED displays offer superior image quality, while LCD displays are more affordable.
  • Receiver: Must be compatible with the VTX frequency.
  • Head tracking: Head tracking allows you to control the camera view by moving your head, which can be helpful for racing.
  • OSD (On-Screen Display): An OSD displays telemetry data such as battery voltage, RPM, and flight time.

By considering security and entertainment factors and fostering continuous innovation, FPV drone racing competition playground will be not only exciting and challenging for pilots but also safe, enjoyable, and engaging for spectators. Track length would be around 200 meters and width appx 5 meters.
