If you haven’t seen first-person-view (FPV) drone racing in action, here’s your chance to tip a few back at the Twin Cities’ hottest tap room and behold the sport of the future.
We’ll start with an FPV freestyle demo outside in the Bauhaus courtyard (drones showing off) before moving inside, meeting a few top pilots (listed below), and then showcasing some action-packed micro-FPV drone racing through the Bauhaus tap room (may the fastest pilot win).
And since FPV flying is made possible by small onboard video cameras with real-time transmitters, you’ll be able to ride along for every zoom, swoop, dive, roll and crash as Twin Cities startup Hydra FPV streams those camera feeds live to the giant Bauhaus projection screen.
Presented by:
AirVūz - The world’s leading platform for discovering, watching, and sharing drone videos is based right here in Minneapolis, and they’ll be live streaming from this event AND giving away three (3) Horizon Hobby Ready-to-Fly Inductrix micro-FPV drone+goggle sets to a few lucky attendees/future pilots.
Minnesota Autonomous Vehicle (MAV) Meetup - Known for attracting the coolest collection of drone pilots in town to monthly meetups, they’ll be setting up their FPV flight simulator for anyone to try.
Hydra FPV - A new drone racing entertainment engine that enables dynamic live streaming of FPV flying action to Twitch, YouTube, Facebook, and more, turning today’s pilots into tomorrow’s sports stars.
Hosted by:
Bauhaus Brew Labs - A family of musicians, scientists, artists and – above all – beer lovers, aiming to reinvigorate the spirit of the family brewery. Bauhaus takes a unique look at classic German-inspired beer styles, skewed slightly by a sense of play and adventure.
