I am a consultant who developed the companion computer/autopilot and software environment for DRL drones used at the AIRR race sponsored by Lockheed in 2019. UZH was the team to beat and I met Davide and Elia there. They almost pulled it off but sports being what they are had a bit of a heartbreak at the end, and the team from Delft ended up pulling through and winning the $1mm prize. Delft then raced against Gab from DRL and iirc came behind by only 6 seconds.
So glad to see this team from UZH continued pushing the envelope and are now beating human champions. If you saw the team and what they managed in under a year, it was clear they were highly talented and human racers had their work cut out for them to stay ahead.
