The competition was held on Wednesday 11 September (Week 7), from 3:30 pm to 7 pm, in the Motion Capture Laboratory (Room 405-836E).
Teams were briefed at 3:30 pm, the first flight being half an hour later at 4 pm. Each team was given a 15 minute competition slot to do as much flying as they could. 10 minutes was also available beforehand for teams to set-up and install their devices on the aircraft.
Nine teams took part in the competition, each with their own unique strategy and flying. The teams were:
| AeroPredators | BenRyan | Drone | Endroneers | JARS |
| JCFD | JETS | The Civil Engineers | Wombat Drone |
Most teams chose to fly through the onboard camera (First-Person-View, or FPV for short), while some chose to keep their eye on the aircraft (Line-Of-Sight). Some teams chose to attempt payload collection, others went for speed and getting more circuits of the course within their allocated time. Many successful landings were made.
Results

- 1st Place: AeroPredators
- 2nd Place: The Civil Engineers
- 3rd Place: Drone
