University of Memphis Drone Racing Tournament

What are fpv drones?

First Person View Drones (FPV) are controlled from a distance. A camera is mounted on the drone, and is constantly relaying a video feed to the person controlling it. This means that the pilot can control the vehicle and see what is happening while in the comfort of his or her own chair.
