Advances in technology, and miniaturization, have led to great leaps forward when it comes to drones in recent years -- think things like quadcopters that people fly, sometimes using their phones as the interface, even being able to see in real time what the drone is seeing. Now, the Lee Virtual School’s Drone and Engineering Club is getting in on the action with its inaugural Micro Madness Drone race, which is Monday, April 29 at 5:00 p.m. at the Cape Coral Yacht Club. It’s open to drone pilots of all skill levels, whether they have their own drone or not. We’re joined by the Lee Virtual School’s principal, Al Shilling, to learn more.
