We reward the effort put forth by chapter organizers by providing them with the fundamental building block for any drone race, the track.
As chapters progress to Tier 3 and Tier 2, they are rewarded with 5 gates and 5 flags. This gives chapters achievable goals that set their chapter on the path of success and growth. As a byproduct of their hard work, their chapter is given the tools to succeed and grow at no cost to them. Gates, flags, and website software that allow them to manage their chapter and run races, all provided free of charge.
When we started this program, we had no idea how many groups of pilots would form and take advantage of these free assets. Since its inception, MultiGP has sent free gates and flags to deserving chapters in many far-away and international destinations. The goal always being the same: creating engaged and organized groups of pilots that spread drone racing to destinations like:

As we tally up the sheer volume gates and flags sent across the world, we are both filled with optimism and awe at the impact that our gracious sponsors have empowered us with. Without our sponsors, these numbers would not have been possible:

That’s 22,185 square feet of gates, or enough gates to completely cover 1/2 Acre of land.

THAT’S OVER 2 TONS of postage paid

As stated before, we rely on sponsors to subsidize the cost of manufacturing the gates and flags in addition to the significant postage fees that MultiGP incurs when shipping these heavy packages across the globe. Without sponsors like these, many chapters would not have the assets they need to hold awesome drone races. We approach these sponsors in rounds, each round representing at least 10 gates going to 10 chapters – sometimes more.
