Part 6/10:
The hardware inside these drones is also highly sophisticated, translating what the drone perceives into real-time data accessible to the pilot. Since the onboard camera feed is low-resolution to minimize latency, pilots rely on a quick, low-latency video link rather than high-definition footage. Reducing this latency—the delay from drone sensor to pilot’s brain—is central to competitive success, allowing pilots to execute lightning-fast maneuvers with nearly perfect timing.
