How it fits. The sim already has a flying body and a camera; a drone is a small physics body with a throttle, a tilt and a camera feed. Gates are authored rings; a pass is a plane crossing, like the goal test in liuverse-sim::throw. The feed is the same scene rendered at a lower resolution with a vignette and scanlines.

Scope.

A hand-launched drone with a throttle and tilt flight model.
A first-person feed and a line-of-sight mode.
A course of gates with a timer and splits.
A crash and a respawn at the last gate.
A tiny buzzy audio signature.

Related. #172 (photo mode), #206 (spectating), #213 (vertical flight).

A drone is a different kind of flight: fast, twitchy, low to the ground, and seen through a grainy camera feed. A set of gates around campus turns it into a time trial. It is a toy, not a vehicle, and it gives the vertical campus a competitive use. **How it fits.** The sim already has a flying body and a camera; a drone is a small physics body with a throttle, a tilt and a camera feed.
