Open-source drone projects competition

Dates: June 10, 2021 — April 23, 2022
WHAT IS THE COPTERHACK?
CopterHack 2022 is an international open-source competition on aerial robotics projects. The mainstream of the CopterHack 2022 is a team competition with a free choice of the project topic. In addition, this year we organize a second category — company cases.

The proposed projects have to be open source and be compatible with the Clover quadcopter platform. Throughout the competition, teams will work on their ideas and/or company cases, bringing them closer to the state of the complete product. Industry experts will assist participants through lectures and regular feedback.
