Abstract :
Star Wars fans will remember the pod-racing scene from Episode I: The Phantom Menace, where the young Anakin Skywalker speeds through the landscape in a levitating scooter. A similar adrenaline rush is available through the new sport of drone racing, which typically involves quadcopters zooming around a course low to the ground. The quadcopters are piloted by people wearing video goggles or some other means of obtaining a first-person view, a form of radio-control flight that goes, naturally enough, by the acronym FPV.
