Part 3/10:
A defining aspect of drone racing is that all competitors race with identical equipment—the DRL Racer 3. This standardization levels the playing field, emphasizing pilot skill over wealth or access to premium gear. This approach democratizes the sport, allowing anyone with talent to compete at the highest levels. Remarkably, young athletes like Milk, an 11-year-old girl from Thailand, have achieved world championship status, winning with minimal resources against seasoned professionals. Luke Bannister, a 15-year-old from the UK, amassed over $250,000 in prize money by winning the World Drone Prix in Dubai, illustrating the sport's lucrative potential for top talent.
