The idea

Make hands-on aerial autonomy accessible to teams who may not have a robotics lab of their own. Participants will work with common hardware and build software for GPS-denied flight.

My role

I founded and direct the event, bringing together student organizers, engineering mentors, sponsors, and university support. My work spans the competition platform, team coordination, and the practical demands of running a hardware-focused event.

What is next

The event is scheduled for November 6–8, 2026 at Stanford. Competition results, completed participation numbers, and event footage will be added after it takes place.

Scheduled for November 6–8, 2026. Details are accurate as of October 15, 2026. Event results and participation outcomes will follow the event.
