This achievement is a testament to the hard work and creativity of Team Foxtrot, as they continue to push the boundaries of drone technology and innovation.
Our contender, Project Sylph, cruised through all phases of the competition and eventually managed to win the challenge by a huge margin.
In addition, we also received the Outreach Award in recognition of our active social media handles and keeping our audience in sync with our proceedings. This victory is a testament to our continuous improvement, dedication, and grit which sets us apart.
Team Foxtrot, from Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology (GIKI), is run by a group of students from different disciplines, all focused on a common goal: to make practical, fully-autonomous aircraft – called UAVs - and compete with the best in the world. It was in 2018 when a group of brilliant, enthusiastic individuals joined hands and decided to design and build UAVs. As a result, our team incepted and has been competing in national and international events ever since.
