First-ever EPFL Drone Days a runaway success

More than 5,000 people were treated to drone races, a robotics showcase, a conference and demonstrations on EPFL's campus in a three-day event that started last Friday. Switzerland's fastest drone pilot was crowned on Sunday following a spectacular race. Mother Nature smiled on EPFL this past weekend, as several thousand people attended the first-ever EPFL Drone Days. This special event was devoted entirely to aerial robotics in all its forms - whether for competition, fun, research or industry. Attendees were treated to three days of thrilling races over the middle of campus, including a night race lit by LEDs and the finals of the Swiss Rotor Sports Association (SRSA) Cup on Sunday. The winner was Dario Neuenschwander - alias FVPader - from Zurich. Switzerland's top four pilots have now qualified for the European Rotor Sports Association (ERSA) Euro Cup 2017.
