There are 4 participants with quite interesting UAVs.
AFAIK they were stabilized FPV planes in 2009 with onboard autopilot prototypes made by the students.
Current constructions are:

Rules (of course in Polish - yes, is profitable to learn Polish in order to follow the most recent developments in avaition technology)

Note: BSL means UAV in Polish.
Almost all entrants have very well engineered platforms made of kevlar, carbon fibrglass, CNC machined metal wing joints, pan-tilt turrets.
Somehow Poles got crasy about bimotor with less or more inverted Vtail plus ailerons.
No landing gears, apaprently no flaps, at elast 2 got parachute since 2 years.
Adeli and Wiewior had their SAE heavy lifter versions.
The mission is similar to Outback challenge in that the main problem is identifying a target position (square cloth). Nothing has to be dropped, the search area is closer, but the landing area is very difficult (must land uphill or between the trees, this is a glider airstrip on mountain slope. Pteryx was there, see the photomap:

Comments
Adeli2 weights 3.4kg for maiden flight. With avionics, fpv systems, parachute it raises to 4.7kg.
We achive such small weight thanks to moulded parts made of carbon-fiber and stress calculations to minimalize mass.
They say: weight:5 kg
Contest regulations say: UP TO 5kg, no exceptions."Maiden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL1dEbgLxpc"
Nice shots of blue sky and clouds.
Do you know how much it weighs?
