Regular Season Challenge #1 = EMAX International Orbits
Requirement #1: You must include your pilot name, your location, and a fun fact about yourself on screen during your video submission. Please try to put this at or near the beginning of the video if at all possible.
Requirement #2: You must complete at least TWO FULL CONSECUTIVE ORBITS while keeping your POI in FPV. If your subject falls out of FPV view during your double orbit you must restart the double orbit.
Requirement #3: You must complete at least TWO FULL CONSECUTIVE ORBITS in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION while keeping your POI in FPV. If your subject falls out of FPV view during your double orbit you must restart the double orbit.
Requirement #4: Absolutely DO NOT use the song "You spin me right round baby" by Dead or Alive. This song always blocks the livestream on Youtube even if it doesn't block your video. You will fail the challenge if you use this song in your submission.
*60 second MAXIMUM video submission length. (Note: If YouTube displays 61 seconds that is fine, it often adds a second to the runtime)
*POI = Point of Interest. This is anything that you can see in your FPV view that you can fly completely around. You are NOT allowed to speed up any of the required 2 sets of opposite double orbits to get them to fit within 60 seconds. However if you have already shown all of the required orbits you can include any additional orbit clips at any speed.
*These two sets of opposite direction double orbits DO NOT have to be in the same clip. Separate clips are available.
*I strongly suggest doing more than 2 full orbits of each direction to be safe. If you cut either of your double orbits off at only 1.9 orbits that will result in fail. You must complete AT LEAST 2 full consecutive orbits of each direction while keeping the subject in FPV view.
Training Ground Challenge #7 = BetaFPV TPW Midterm
Here is the link to the TPW Explanation Page: https://prowhooper.com/igow-5-training-grounds-week-7/
Requirement #1:
Perform the first 3 tricks prefilled into the calculator: Split-S, Powerloop, & Flip.
Requirement #2:
Perform a 90 second max freestyle line with up to 30 total tricks (you can have more tricks in your video but only the first 3 preloaded and then the next 27 will count for your official total score) The goal is to score as many points as possible.
Requirement #3:
Make a copy and then fill out the TPW Calculator Sheet with the tricks you performed in your freestyle line and then submit your calculator sheet with your video submission. *There will be a spot to upload your sheet on the submission form.
Training Ground Challenge #6 = Decks of Dexterity Scavenger Hunt
Requirement #1:
You must complete at least 7 items total including at least 1 item from each Dan's favorite lists. You are allowed to complete as many as you can fit in 60 seconds and if you include 10 or more items your video can be a total of 90 seconds long. At least 7 items in your video must be performed in the past 2 weeks but you can use older footage for any additional items you want to include in your video.
Requirement #2:
You must complete at least 3 of the items in one continuous clip. All other items can be cut together and/or you can do more than 3 in one clip if you choose.
Requirement #3:
Have Fun!
#1 = Tree Surfing: You must fly in amongst the branches /leaves of a tree. You must stay inside the tree area for at least 5 seconds. Bumps are allowed
#2 = Odysseus's Arrow: aka "Natural Gate Tunnel". You must fly through 12 "natural" lined up gates cleanly. (no bumps allowed) You must find the gates set up in a line. You cannot create your own gate tunnel.
#3 Slide Disarm: You must disarm then slide some distance while in contact with a surface while disarmed. Then while still sliding you must re-arm, take off, and fly away cleanly.
#4 Guerilla Gate: You must fly through a "gate" that is for sale inside of a store. It can be anything but it must actually be for sale, not just something that is inside of a store.
#5 Perch: You must fly up to and then land (disarm) on a small surface at least 10ft (3m) above the ground. Then you must re-arm, take off, and fly away cleanly.
#6 Stranger Gate: THIS MUST BE 100% CONSENSUAL! No gate rape allowed. You must first ask a complete stranger to create a gate with their body and then fly through it cleanly. The person must be a complete stranger before you ask them to be a gate.
#7 Chase: You must follow something moving for at least 4 seconds keeping it in your FPV view. It can be anything besides a person that is just walking/running. If you follow a person they must be on something like a bike, skateboard, rollerblades, ect.
#8 Water Gate: You must fly through a "gate" that is at least partially formed by water. (Frozen water, aka ice, is allowed if it forms the entire gate.) Fountain are probably going to be the best place to find these type of gates. You could also create one yourself.
#9 POI Boop: You must perform a wall tap on something something specific with a nose. Fly at the POI then, rotate your drone so you contact the nose area with the base of your drone and then bounce off and fly away cleanly. So like it could be a sign or logo with a nose or it could be a statue or sculpture or something like that. It cannot be a living person or animal.
#10 Skate or Fly: You must complete a couple tricks while flying in/around a skate park and/or stake type obstacles. You can go up and down ramps and/or try to grind on rails or boxes. The idea is to fly like your whoop is navigating through the obstacles like someone skating the obstacles.
#11 Facepunch: DO NOT ATTEMPT WITH OPEN PROP DRONES!!! 1S Whoops ONLY! You must contact the face of a living person. It can be yourself or someone else. The contact can be intentional or an accident as long as you make contact with the face.
#11alternate: If you do not want to do a facepunch you can instead do a self landing. This is just landing on yourself in anyway. You must disarm and come to a complete stop on yourself without the drone touching the ground. Hand catching is also acceptable.
#12 Disarm Dive: You must fly up into the air and then disarm. This can be on purpose or due to failsafe. After falling while disarmed, then re-arm, regain control, and fly away cleanly before hitting the ground. *The concept is kinda like a game of chicken so the longer you can stay disarmed and the closer to the ground you can re-arm and fly away the better! *or Stoney Droney (edited by Barani Dan)
