AR.Drone posted this video of the Grand Finale of its first Annual Competition to find the best pilot in the world.
After being selected through an online competition, the 15 finalists representing 9 nationalities finally arrived to Las Vegas on January 9th. The finalists received an AR.Drone bag and their uniforms for the competition then visited the Parrot Booth at the Las Vegas Convention Center for a training session before the Big Day.
The competitors discovered a booth entirely dedicated to the competition but also a surprise: that they would be using the brand new AR.Drone 2.0 for the Grand Finale – this second generation of AR.Drone which was announced 4 days ealier during the CES Unveiled.
The grand winner, the 1st AR.Drone World Champion was the appropriately named Japanese entrant, KAMIKAZE who went home with a cheque for $5,000.
