This is awesome. I remember watching the videos of the previous version of this one! Plenty of small challenges to overcome and tweaks to make, so much fun!

Father and son team are back!!!

Seriously impressive considering the fact that they were one of the last entries and essentially built this drone in their backyard / airbnb.

A well deserved $750 000 payday!

@Luis - how about a follow up article showcasing this sublime south african engineering excellence?
