At 'DroneClash' in Katwijk, the Netherlands, the drones are the fighters.

The one-day event is being held in an old aircraft hangar, inside a specially-designed arena, made from a polycarbonate transparent material, the same used in police riot-shields.

The goal: knockout the other team’s “queen drone” to win the €30,000 prize.

You can fly as many drones as you want, but hacking an opponent’s is forbidden.
