The below forum is pretty much ground zero for the hobby in the United States IMO. There's some very very talented regulars there who are truly pushing the limits. All the owners of the electronics and software used in the hobby are on this forum too and post regularly. Many University teams show up on this forum too, i believe this USC team is there from time to time asking for advice.
