motodrone Challenge
The next motodrone will take place in 2013!
Motodrone is *the* international event where researchers and hackers interested in autonomous flight meet. It’s now running in its 4th year.
It’s a place for discussion, showing your latest technology, presentations on various topics, and a competition.
Whether you are one of the leading experts in the field, or are simply looking for peers to discuss your hobby, we would be really happy to have you and your group join us in Berlin in August. For participants and motodrone memebers we can offer tickets, pre-arranged tents in the airport area, and a lot of fun! In case you would like to take part, please let us know as soon as possible how many of your group want to participate and whether you need any help in arranging the travel and transport of hardware.
The competition will be an autonomous flight challenge with varying degrees of difficulty and autonomy. The exact details will be announced on the first day of motodrone, and you have 3 full days for preparing your copters for the challenge. There will be a special training arena setup and space to set up your computers and hardware. And now the best part: There is a price money of 10,000€ for the winner!
So, – you are cordially invited to participate in the convention and to share your knowledge and thoughts by giving a lecture – and not at least by simply joining one of the discussions… Motodrone 2013 will be a place to freely share your knowledge, meet the best there is in open-source development of robotics and autonomous flying objects, and have fun together. All your comments and ideas are highly welcome!
If you want to join us, email hoppel@motodrone.org.
Looking forward to a great competition,
your motodrone team
