The Drone Team competes against teams from across the state of Georgia and NE Florida. Competitors complete in various drone competition areas such as obstacle courses, landing challenges, speed courses, and NFO challenges (flight direction assisted by a teammate), and academic quiz related to aeronautics and aerodynamics. All drone equipment is provided by the unit. In the teams first competitive year, Hillgrove finished 6th in the state and looks to improve on that standing this year, where the team traveled to Jacksonville, FL in Dec. and captured their first even meet win at the Bishop Kenny Brain Brawl competition. They will compete in the state championship later this school year.
