May the Best Drone Win: Vehicles Race in First-Ever Liberty Cup

Drone racing, a cross between Formula 1 (F1) auto competitions and a real-life wireless Nintendo game, is poised to become the next big sport — with a high-tech twist. This past week, the Liberty Science Center hosted the first-ever Liberty Cup, a drone competition taking place in Jersey City, New Jersey, just miles (and one river) away from New York City. Pilots donned first-person view (FPV) goggles, which allowed the contestants to see the aerial course from a drone's-eye view.
