Is it time for the DIY Drone community to roll up our sleeves and enter a team into this anti-poaching UAV contest?

$65,000 in prizes and an all expenses paid trip for the winning team to the Kruger Park in South Africa for 10 days to fly the design with the real life anti-poaching teams.

We have to have the expertise in this community to win this competition hands down?

Maybe 3D can use some of this newly raised $30 million to offer the winning UAV design a production contract and 3D Robotics can then offer a line of counter poaching UAV's?

Chris, drop me a note if this is of interest and I can send it onto the contest organizers so you can discuss the idea.

Love the yoga ball as a soft landing device, can't believe the pilot trusted his life to an RC controller though and he never had covers for all those props which would have sliced him up like a blender if things went pear shaped.

Awesome stuff, just totally jealous as we are trying something similar and they flew first :-)
