In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test Crew (http://www.roswellflighttestcrew.com/) judges three teams of FPV drone pilots using DJI Phantom quadcopters in a simulated search for an invasive species in the desert of Central Oregon. The teams - Three Chicks and a Drone, Grady High School G3 Robotics, and Furman University – were given five minutes over the target area to locate and identify the target. Drone Prize (http://www.droneprize.com/) was sponsored by SkyWard (http://www.skyward.io/) and Aerial Technology International (http://www.aerialtechnology.com/). This is the third in a six-part series of videos about the competition, held in Oregon in August 2014.
