Testing Potato Cannons for Bringing Down Drones

4,658 Views · Posted 6 years ago

Prior to our big race here in Indianapolis, we built and tested some potato cannons and other goodies to attempt to bring down drones during the race just for fun. Oh, and shot them with high speed cameras.

If you’re interested in getting a crossfire, there’s an AMAZING deal right now. Get 5 receivers, the transmitter, and a bunch of spare antennas. Seriously this is like free money.
