We’re on the edge of our seats waiting for the HoverGames Challenge winners to be announced!

Put on by NXP and Hackster.io, the challenge pairs individuals and teams with a custom drone development kit, which (for 100 lucky participants who win a hardware coupon) includes a Pixy2 camera for object recognition. The goal is to figure out novel ways to assist firefighting crews – delivering supplies, scanning fires for hot spots, or something else.

Good luck to the teams and to the judges! We are happy to see our technology being used to build a healthier and more resilient world.
