Drone Wars

Seven teams of two come from all over the world to compete. Their first challenge is designing a drone that guides them through a giant maze.

A challenge of traditional drone racing separates the teams into racers and engineers, all on the backdrop of an abandoned military base.

An abandoned building is rigged with motion sensors and teams must sneak through without being seen. A team is eliminated from the competition.

Teams design a drone to find a person lost in the forest - but the person lost in the forest is one member of their team. They are timed on successfully escaping the woods.

The six remaining teams split into two groups and play the first-ever game of Drone Ball.

A pirate ship is stationed in the water with treasure on it. Teams must fly to the ship and retrieve as much coin as possible.

Teams build the strongest drones to carry the most amount of weight for their size. Who goes higher than the tower and who gets eliminated?

Teams are given objects and must make them fly and host a party. A spontaneous drone party commences with a multitude of guests.

Competitors must design a drone that will catch a fish.

Drones go to the highest point and drop a payload on the target below. Points for highest altitude, and closest to target landing.

Teams create drones that can fly, float, and drive and race through air, sea, and land. A team is eliminated to reveal the final contenders.

The finalists face off head to head by equipping their drones with paintball guns and targeting one another. One champion emerges.
